Summary

Coverage ranges from the fundamental concepts of originality, authorship, and infringement, to the highly technical rules governing digital phonorecord deliveries and digital public performance rights in sound recordings, the safe harbor provisions that limit the liability of internet service providers, and the anti-circumvention and copyright management information provisions of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. The ever-evolving doctrines of fair use and contributory liability are given thorough attention.
