Copy This Book is an artist's guide to copyright, written in an attempt to make complex legal concepts and issues more understandable to makers.
Both practical and critical, Eric Schrijver's guide takes you through the concepts underlying copyright and how they apply in your practice. How do you get copyright? For what work? And for how long? How does copyright move across mediums, and how can you go about integrating the work of others? The author provides details the concepts of authorship and original creation that underlie the US and EU legal systems, equipping the reader with the conceptual keys to participate in the debate on intellectual property today.
