Description

Copyright Cases and Materials 10th Edition Robert A. Gorman ISBN 9781636594514

Distinguished by engaging questions and discussion problems, comprehensive notes, and carefully edited, highly teachable cases, this casebook remains the authoritative resource for the study of Copyright Law in law schools. It offers a thorough and up-to-date treatment of the field, addressing both emerging issues driven by new technologies and the enduring doctrinal foundations of copyright law.

The book gives particular emphasis to key and evolving topics, including the copyrightability of AI-generated and AI-assisted works; the protection of works with functional elements, such as compilations, computer programs, and applied art; and the application of the exclusive rights of distribution, public performance, and display in digital and online environments. It also provides in-depth coverage of recent developments in the fair use doctrine, including the Supreme Court’s landmark decisions in Google LLC v. Oracle America, Inc. (2022) and Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith (2023).

Additional chapters explore the growing body of case law addressing the limited liability of internet service providers, as well as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s provisions on technological protection measures and copyright management information, supported by well-chosen cases and analysis of successive Copyright Office rulemakings.

To enhance clarity and pedagogical effectiveness, the materials on derivative works, copyright registration, duration, termination of transfers, and fair use have been substantially reorganized to reflect recent legal developments and to present these complex subjects in a more accessible and coherent manner. The casebook also includes an expanded selection of photographs illustrating contemporary disputes over originality and infringement.

Comprehensive, current, and engaging, this casebook continues to set the standard in the field, offering a rigorous yet accessible learning experience that is equally rewarding for instructors and students.
