 Peter K. Yu, ed.

0-275-98882-1/978-0-275-98882-1

Description
A multi-disciplinary introduction to emerging trends and issues in intellectual property and its impact on business, law, and society—from Napster to open source, traditional media to electronic commerce, fair use to enforcement across borders.

Reviews:
-Most discussions of intellectual property rights and issues have been regulated to lawyers and court decisions so it's refreshing to find a volume which moves outside the legal system to address information and digital issues for a more general audience. College-level students of computer science, sociology, legal issues and contemporary issues will find this four-volume reference set simply invaluable, packing in discussions of protections and challenges to novels, films, music, computer programs and other digitally-affected media, and examining protection efforts, legal rights, global and cross-border protections and strategies, and more. Each volume includes plenty of quotes and references from authoritative source material and studies, and each provides pro/con discussions of related issues, making for an outstanding survey that should be a top pick of any college-level collection. —California Bookwatch
-In Editor Peter K. Yu's Intellectual Property and Information Wealth: Issues and Practices in the Digital Age, a bevy of experts seeks to explain the basics of intellectual property for you and me....This is important reading on questions that are likely to get thornier. —American Libraries
-Yu viewed his purpose in putting together this four-volume set as the development of a comprehensive mini-library on intellectual property that covers both the basic and cutting edge issues. He has organized the material in accordance with the three main branches of intellectual property law (copyrights, patents, and trademarks) and added a final volume covering the increasingly important international developments. —Reference & Research Book News
