Performing Copyright : Law, Theatre and Authorship
Based on empirical research, this innovative book explores issues of performativity and authorship in the theatre world under copyright law and addresses several inter-connected questions: who is the author and first owner of a dramatic work?Who gets the credit and the licensing rights? What rights do the performers of the work have? Given the nature of theatre as a medium reliant on the re-use of prior existing works, tropes, themes and plots, what happens if an allegation of copyright infringement is made against a playwright?Furthermore, who possesses moral rights over the work?To evaluate these questions in the context of theatre, the first part of the book examines the history of the dramatic work both as text and as performative work.The second part explores the notions of authorship and joint authorship under copyright law as they apply to the actual process of creating plays, referring to legal and theatrical literature, as well as empirical research.The third part looks at the notion of copyright infringement in the context of theatre, noting that cases of alleged theatrical infringement reach the courts comparatively rarely in comparison with music cases, and assessing the reasons for this with respect to empirical research.The fourth part examines the way moral rights of attribution and integrity work in the context of theatre.The book concludes with a prescriptive comment on how law should respond to the challenges provided by the theatrical context, and how theatre should respond to law.Very original and innovative, this book proposes a ground-breaking empirical approach to study the implications of copyright law in society and makes a wonderful case for the need to consider the reciprocal influence between law and practice.

Digitising Cultural Heritage : Clashes with Copyright Law
This book investigates the role played by copyright on the digitisation of cultural heritage from three angles: the theoretical differences between cultural property law and copyright; a comparative analysis of the EU, UK, and US; and analysis of current practices and concerns, based on empirical research.As heritage digitisation projects become increasingly common for purposes such as preservation and access, the impact of copyright is also becoming more problematic.In order to provide a full and current picture of the copyright problem, the book first introduces the reader to the debates on the scope and ownership of cultural heritage and provides an overview of the copyright implications of the digitisation process and newer uses, including 2D and 3D scanning; virtual and augmented reality; text and data mining; and artificial intelligence. The author then divides the main critical analysis into three parts, referred to as the ‘clashes with copyright’.The first, clash in theory, lies between cultural property law and copyright justification theories.The second clash is in the different legal approaches to digitising in-copyright, public domain, orphan, out-of-commerce and unpublished works in the chosen jurisdictions, focusing on the relevant rights and defences.The third clash is in the interests of stakeholders, based on public reactions to existing projects and cases, supported by interviews with heritage professionals engaging in digitisation. By placing itself in this particular intersection of law, heritage, and technology, the book will be of interest to both intellectual property academics and cultural heritage professionals.

Authors, Users, and Pirates : Copyright Law and Subjectivity
An examination of subjectivity in copyright law, analyzing authors, users, and pirates through a relational framework. In current debates over copyright law, the author, the user, and the pirate are almost always invoked.Some in the creative industries call for more legal protection for authors; activists and academics promote user rights and user-generated content; and online pirates openly challenge the strict enforcement of copyright law.In this book, James Meese offers a new way to think about these three central subjects of copyright law, proposing a relational framework that encompasses all three.Meese views authors, users, and pirates as interconnected subjects, analyzing them as a relational triad.He argues that addressing the relationships among the three subjects will shed light on how the key conceptual underpinnings of copyright law are justified in practice. Meese presents a series of historical and contemporary examples, from nineteenth-century cases of book abridgement to recent controversies over the reuse of Instagram photos.He not only considers the author, user, and pirate in terms of copyright law, but also explores the experiential element of subjectivity-how people understand and construct their own subjectivity in relation to these three subject positions.Meese maps the emergence of the author, user, and pirate over the first two centuries of copyright's existence; describes how regulation and technological limitations turned people from creators to consumers; considers relational authorship; explores practices in sampling, music licensing, and contemporary art; examines provisions in copyright law for user-generated content; and reimagines the pirate as an innovator.

What does copyright law entail?
Copyright law entails the legal protection of original works of authorship, such as literary, artistic, musical, and other creative works. It gives the creator of the work exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, perform, and display the work, as well as the right to create derivative works based on the original. Copyright law also provides the creator with the ability to license or transfer these rights to others. Infringement of copyright can result in legal action and potential damages for the unauthorized use of the protected work.

What is copyright and trademark law?
Copyright and trademark law are two separate areas of intellectual property law. Copyright law protects original works of authorship, such as books, music, and artwork, by giving the creator the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, and display their work. Trademark law, on the other hand, protects words, phrases, symbols, and designs that identify and distinguish the source of goods or services. It gives the owner the exclusive right to use the mark in commerce and prevent others from using a similar mark that could cause confusion among consumers. Both copyright and trademark law aim to protect the rights of creators and businesses and prevent unauthorized use or infringement of their intellectual property.

EU Copyright Law Harmonisation : An Empirical Analysis of National Courts Case Law
This book provides the first comprehensive comparative and empirical analysis of the state of harmonisation in EU copyright law in the 27 Member States, and the UK, at the level of national courts. For 3 decades, the EU has harmonised many aspects of copyright law via EU legislation and the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU).However, it is not known whether national courts actually comply with it, as a comprehensive analysis of the national case law has not yet been done.This book addresses this major gap in the literature. In the book, a lawyer and a statistician analyse some of the most recent decisions on EU copyright law issued by the 27 Member States and the UK (pre- and post-Brexit), using doctrinal and quantitative methodologies.The main research question addressed is whether there is disharmony in the national case law and whether this is owed to Members States' misimplementing EU copyright legislation, lack of clarity of EU legislation and/or case law, or national courts misinterpreting or resisting CJEU case law. The book provides detailed legal analyses and descriptive statistics per topic, per type of work, per country, across countries and over time supported by statistical analysis, where possible making inferences for the future development of the law.Its findings and in-depth reflections on the law and how to improve it are of crucial relevance for policymakers and the judiciary at EU and national level and will interest scholarly audiences in the UK, EU, EEA and beyond.

Copyright and Cartography : History, Law, and the Circulation of Geographical Knowledge
This open access book explores the intertwined histories of mapmaking and copyright law in Britain from the early modern period up to World War 1, focusing chiefly on the 18th and 19th centuries.Taking a multidisciplinary approach and making extensive use of the archival record, this is the first detailed, historical account of the relationship between maps and copyright.As such, it examines how the emergence and development of copyright law affected mapmakers and the map trade and how the application of copyright law to the field of mapmaking affected the development of copyright doctrine.Its explorations cast new light on the circulation of geographical knowledge, different cultures of authorship and creativity, and connections between copyright law, print culture, technology, and society. The book will be of interest to legal historians, intellectual property scholars, and historians of the map and print culture, as well as those interested in the history of knowledge and how legal control over data has been exerted over time.It takes the reader back to the earliest attempts to establish who can own and control geographical information and its graphic representation in the form of a map.In so doing, it establishes a long history of tension between the interests of private enterprise, government, and the public.The book’s investigations end in the first decades of the 20th century, but the tensions it identifies persist in the 21st century, although today paper maps have been largely replaced by web-based mapping platforms and digital geospatial data. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.Open access was funded by the Australian Research Council.

The Right of Communication to the Public in EU Copyright Law
This monograph conducts a comprehensive analysis of the EU right of communication to the public, one of the exclusive rights under EU copyright law, and provides an alternative framework for its interpretation and application.The present state of the law is unsatisfactory; there is uncertainty in the acquis communautaire and courts at the EU and domestic levels have struggled to apply the right.Therefore, the book identifies the problems with the existing right of communication to the public and proposes recommendations for reform.In addition to reforming the scope of the right of communication to the public, the jurisdiction and applicable law in relation to the right are analysed and changes are recommended.Thus, the book covers both the scope and practicalities of a coherent and effective reform of the right.In light of the continuing development and accompanying tribulations with this right at the EU level, this book provides a topical and timely analysis that will be of interest to academics and practitioners working on EU copyright law.

This allows Instagram to use, modify, and distribute the content for promotional and other business purposes.
