Performing Copyright : Law, Theatre and Authorship
Based on empirical research, this innovative book explores issues of performativity and authorship in the theatre world under copyright law and addresses several inter-connected questions: who is the author and first owner of a dramatic work?Who gets the credit and the licensing rights? What rights do the performers of the work have? Given the nature of theatre as a medium reliant on the re-use of prior existing works, tropes, themes and plots, what happens if an allegation of copyright infringement is made against a playwright?Furthermore, who possesses moral rights over the work?To evaluate these questions in the context of theatre, the first part of the book examines the history of the dramatic work both as text and as performative work.The second part explores the notions of authorship and joint authorship under copyright law as they apply to the actual process of creating plays, referring to legal and theatrical literature, as well as empirical research.The third part looks at the notion of copyright infringement in the context of theatre, noting that cases of alleged theatrical infringement reach the courts comparatively rarely in comparison with music cases, and assessing the reasons for this with respect to empirical research.The fourth part examines the way moral rights of attribution and integrity work in the context of theatre.The book concludes with a prescriptive comment on how law should respond to the challenges provided by the theatrical context, and how theatre should respond to law.Very original and innovative, this book proposes a ground-breaking empirical approach to study the implications of copyright law in society and makes a wonderful case for the need to consider the reciprocal influence between law and practice.

Copyright : What Everyone Needs to Know®
Copyright law was once an esoteric backwater, the special province of professional authors, publishers, and media companies.This is no longer the case. In the age of social media and cloud storage, we have become a copying and sharing culture.Much of our everyday communication, work, and entertainment now directly involves copyright law.Copyright law and policy are ferociously contested. Record labels, movie studios, book publishers, newspapers, and many authors rage that those who share music, video, text, and images over the Internet are âstealingâ their property.By contrast, copyright industry critics celebrate digital technologyâs potential to make the universe of movies, music, books, and art accessible anytime and anywhere â and to empower individuals the world over to express themselves by sharing and remixing those works.These critics argue that excessive copyright enforcement threatens that promise and stifles creativity. In Copyright: What Everyone Needs to Know®, Neil Weinstock Netanel explains the concepts needed to understand the heated debates about copyright law and policy.He identifies the combatants, unpacks their arguments, and illuminates what is at stake in the debates over copyrightâs present and future.

Digitising Cultural Heritage : Clashes with Copyright Law
This book investigates the role played by copyright on the digitisation of cultural heritage from 3 angles: the theoretical differences between cultural property law and copyright; a comparative analysis of the EU, the UK, and the US; and the analysis of current practices and concerns, based on empirical research. As heritage digitisation projects are becoming increasingly common for purposes such as preservation and access, the impact of copyright is also becoming more problematic.In order to provide a full and current picture of the copyright problem, the book first introduces the reader to the debates on cultural heritage and copyright implications of new technologies, including: 2D and 3D scanning; virtual and augmented reality; text and data mining; and artificial intelligence. The author then divides the main critical analysis into 3 parts, referred to as the clashes with copyright.The 1st, theoretical clash, lies between cultural property law and copyright justification theories on the issues of public interest and ownership of heritage.The 2nd clash is in the different legal approaches to digitising in-copyright, public domain, orphan, out-of-commerce and unpublished works in the chosen jurisdictions.The 3rd clash is in the interests of the stakeholders, based on public reactions to existing projects and cases, supported by interviews with heritage professionals engaging in digitisation. By placing itself in this particular intersection of law, heritage, and technology, the book will be of interest to both intellectual property academics and cultural heritage professionals.

Copyright Vigilantes : Intellectual Property and the Hollywood Superhero
Copyright Vigilantes: Intellectual Property and the Hollywood Superhero, 1998–2018 explains superhero blockbusters as allegories of intellectual property relations.In movies based on characters owned by the comics duopoly of DC and Marvel, no narrative recurs more often than a villain’s attempt to copy the superhero's unique powers.In this volume, author Ezra Claverie explains this fixation as a symptom of the films’ mode of production. Since the 1930s, the dominant American comics publishers have treated the creations of artists and writers as work for hire, such that stories and characters become company property.Thus, publishers avoided sharing the profits both from magazine sales and from licensing characters into other media.For decades, creators have challenged this regime, demanding either shares of profits or outright ownership of their creations.Now that the duopoly rents, licenses, and adapts superheroes for increasingly expensive franchises, and for growing international audiences, any challenge to intellectual property relations threatens a production regime worth billions of dollars.Duopoly movies, therefore, present any attempt to break the superhero’s monopoly on their powers as the scheme of terrorists, mad scientists, or space Nazis—assuaging studio anxieties and revealing the fears of those who benefit most from the real-world ownership of superheroes.Weaving together legal analysis, Marxist political economy, and close readings of movies, Copyright Vigilantes explains the preoccupations of Hollywood’s leading genre.
