This new edition incorporates the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 as well as a plethora of Orders in Council that come in its wake. New chapters have been added on moral rights, performers' and recording rights and design rights and the book also includes case law generated since the last edition. While the law of copyright becomes increasingly complex, the emphasis of the work remains one of penetrative clarity. To this end the text is paragraphed and cross referenced. The work confronts the practical problems that will face the copyright lawyer in the 1990s, but also retains its scholarly approach, commencing with a narrative review of copyright law. The work deals with international copyright, EEC community law, related forms of protection including breach of confidence, passing off and malicious falsehood, income tax and associated subjects and American copyright law. The appendices include relevant parts of the 1988 Act, as well as the 1911 and 1956 Copyright Acts with comparative tables, UK orders, US legislation and materials and relevant parts of the Treaty of Rome.
