This book has been thoroughly updated to reflect recent legislative developments, key judicial decisions, and revised Copyright Office regulations. This edition incorporates five major new cases: the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark rulings on fair use in Google LLC v. Oracle America, Inc. and Andy Warhol Foundation v. Goldsmith; as well as important appellate decisions in Daniels v. Walt Disney Co. (character protection), Zalewski v. Cicero Builders (architectural works), and Castillo v. G&M Realty (Visual Artists Rights Act).

The twelfth edition also reinstates Siegel v. Warner Bros., a pivotal case on termination rights. New text notes address emerging issues in copyright law, including protection for computer software, legal challenges posed by generative artificial intelligence, and the newly implemented small-claims process under the Copyright Claims Board.

Throughout the book, updates have been made to reflect significant federal appellate rulings, ensuring that the text remains current, comprehensive, and relevant for today’s copyright landscape.
