Copyright and Mass Digitization

The authors pose several stimulating queries with regard to the suitability of the current legal infrastructure to accommodate new and potential demands brought about by mass digitization. Each query is powerfully pursued, suggesting well-argued responses, but also leaving room for other possible solutions. They explain each topic using clear language and an illustration of some of the most pertinent cases pertaining to different jurisdictions, as well as an updated picture of recent legislative reforms and proposals. This approach, which provides readers with case synopses and a thoughtful analysis of court reasoning, illustrates how mass digitalization may change our traditional experience of copyright works in a far reaching manner, and is also likely to result in resilient clashes.
