Copyright Law

Covers the fundamentals of copyright and proceeds to the creation and registration for both print- and media-based materials from the point of view of the author and the user, infringement, civil and criminal remedies, fair use and defenses, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, licensing (including mandatory licensing), and valuation. Copyright law remains the single most dynamic area of intellectual property. Other topics depend upon the most pressing issues of the moment and may include privacy law; database protection; and current topics taken from the headlines, such as peer-to-peer services, the technologies of copy protection, the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), and other pending legislation.
