International Copyright Law and Policy

International Copyright Law and Policy deals comprehensively with the major treaties and conventions covering the law of international copyright and neighboring rights. It explains the complex legal, economic and political background to the treaties and their contents, and how they inter-relate. There is also practical commercial discussion of how copyright and neighboring rights are treated in international trade measures such as GATT, WTO, NAFTA, and bilateral and unilateral treaties, with a section devoted to how unilateral trade measures are applied by the USA in particular. There is also some discussion of how international copyright law and neighboring rights may develop in the future.
