About This Book

The work systematically explains the law of copyright in the United Kingdom, its dominions, and the United States, combining statutory provisions, case law, and an extensive appendix of acts and international conventions. It defines what may be protected, explores authorship and ownership (including employers, assignees, licensees, executors and trustees), registration and duration, and specific regimes for performing rights, engravings, sculpture, paintings, drawings and photographs. Practical issues such as infringement, remedies (damages, injunctions, accounts), evidentiary and procedural matters, and exceptions like fair use, abridgment, and private copying are analysed for practitioners and publishers.

[11] Infra, Section II., p. 36. Foreign works first published in certain foreign countries are protected subject to the conditions of the International Copyright Acts, and are dealt with in a separate chapter. Chapter X., p. 193.

[12] This requisite for protection is extremely doubtful. Probably there is no restriction as to nationality of the author. See infra, Section III., p. 42.
