Off Intellectual Property Law

By John Tehranian

Written at the party of copyright's three hundredth anniversary, John Tehranian's Infringement Nation provides an interesting and obtainable research of the historical past and evolution of copyright legislations and its profound influence at the lives of normal contributors within the twenty-first century. prepared round the trope of the person in 5 diversified copyright-related contexts - as an infringer, transformer, natural consumer, author and reformer - the publication charts the altering contours of our copyright regime and assesses its energy within the electronic age. within the strategy, Tehranian questions a few of our most simple assumptions approximately copyright legislation by way of highlighting the unseemly volume of infringement legal responsibility a typical individual earrings up overnight, the counterintuitive position of the reasonable use doctrine in extensively increasing the copyright monopoly, the real expressive pursuits at play in even the unauthorized use of copyright works, the strangely low point of defense that American copyright legislation provides many creators, and the wider political import of copyright legislation at the exertion of social rules and control.

Drawing upon either conception and the author's personal reports representing consumers in a number of high-profile copyright infringement matches, Tehranian helps his arguments with a wealthy array of numerous examples crossing quite a few issues - from the bizarre origins of Nirvana's "Smells Like youngster Spirit," the query of numeracy between Amazonian hunter-gatherers, the heritage of stand-offs at papal nunciatures, and the culture of judicial plagiarism to contemplations on Slash's legal checklist, Barbie's retroussé nostril, the toxic tomato, flag burning, track as a kind of torture, the scent of rotting movie, William Shakespeare as a guy of the folks, Charles Dickens as a lobbyist, Ashley Wilkes's sexual orientation, Captain Kirk's reincarnation, and Holden Caulfield's maturation. in any case, Infringement Nation makes a cosmopolitan but lucid case for reform of present doctrine and the improvement of a copyright 2.0.
