Digital
copyright is still a developing area, and is a potential minefield for
information professionals.
In the
Rather the
profession is reliant on the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, and how
this relates
to machine-readable content. This book examines in
depth how digital content is treated differently
from hard-copy material.
The second
edition includes a new chapter that takes an in-depth look at digital rights
management
(DRM). It takes account of the All Party Internet
Group's findings of their public inquiry into DRM,
published in June 2006; and the Gowers
Review of Intellectual Property of December 2006. It also
offers a new section on copyright clearance for
digital content; current examples of the penalties
imposed for file sharing, piracy and counterfeiting;
and additional case law examples.

covered include:
database right
the application of copyright to websites and
intranets
