Scoping Study on Copyright and Related Rights and the Public Domain
This study assesses the scope of the public domain, as defined by copyright laws, history and philosophy, before turning to the issue of its effectiveness and greater availability to the public and society at large.
Access-right
In 'Access-Right' Zohar Efroni explores theoretical, normative and practical aspects of premising copyright on the principle of access to works. The impetus to this approach has been the emergence of technology that many consider a threat to the intended operation, and the integrity, of copyright protection in the digital setting.
A Copyright Gambit
European memory institutions are repositories of a wealth of rare documents that record public domain content. These documents are often stored in ‘dark-archives’ to which members of the public are granted limited access, resulting in the public domain content recorded therein being relegated to a form of ‘forgotten-knowledge’. Digitisation offers a means by which such public domain content can be made speedily and easily accessible to users around the world. For this reason, it has been hailed as the harbinger of a new ‘digital renaissance’. This book examines the topical issue of the need to preserve exclusivity over digitised versions of rare documents recording public domain ...
Digital Rights Management
The content industries consider Digital Rights Management (DRM) to contend with unauthorized downloading of copyrighted material, a practice that costs artists and distributors massively in lost revenue. Based on two conferences that brought together high-profile specialists in this area - scientists, lawyers, academics, and business practitioners - this book presents a broad, well-balanced, and objective approach that covers the entire DRM spectrum. Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the field, the book is structured using three different perspectives that cover the technical, legal, and business issues. This monograph-like anthology is the first consolidated book on this young topic.
E-commerce Law and Practice in Europe
With the massive explosion of e-commerce, and especially the use of the Internet as a transnational and instant medium for business transactions, has come a whole range of new laws and regulations - and, inevitably, a minefield of accompanying uncertainties and potential pitfalls. So what exactly are the legal issues companies need to address, and what are their implications in real terms for the business world? Find the answers in this groundbreaking study undertaken for the European Commission within the framework of the ECLIP project. With a brief to provide practical help for businesses and e-commerce initiatives, this series of cutting-edge reviews examines and evaluates the special rules designed to regulate the Internet - both at a European and at national level in the Member States. It also explains the relevant technological developments and evaluates them against the legal background. This is an essential guide for legal and corporate practitioners alike, as well as software developers and the consultancy community internationally. A publication of the ECLIP network

Copyright : a right to control access to works?
Rassemblant des membres des Facultés de Droit, des Sciences Economiques et Sociales et de l'Institut d'Informatique, le Centre de Recherches Informatique et Droit des Facultés Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix à Namur constitue une expérience originale et unique en Belgique de recherche interdisciplinaire Droit Informatique - Economie. Le C.R.I.D. se donne pour objectif de faire progresser la réflexion dans deux domaines : 1. "Le droit de l'informatique" (au sens large), d'une part, ou, de façon plus précise, l'ensemble des questions juridiques et institutionnelles suscitées par les nouveaux moyens de traitement et de transport de l'information (informatique, télématique, réseaux); 2. "L'information juridique", d'autre part, entendant par là les problèmes liés au traitement automatique de l'information juridique. Dans les deux domaines, le C.R.I.D. est attentif à la dimension politique, économique, sociale voire culturelle des choix législatifs ou réglementaires opérés.

This English-language version builds on the success of the authors 2008 French-language textbook on law and economics from a civil law perspective.
Challenges of Copyright in the Digital Age
The adaption of copyright law to the digital age is currently one of the EU’s main concerns regarding intellectual property. This thesis analyses whether European legislation in this field can be successfully implemented in the same way in countries with different levels of development. Taking the examples of Germany and Armenia will help to evaluate the problems of developed and transition countries concerning the challenges of copyright in the digital age. The comparison between these two countries shows that a one-size-fits-all-approach is not appropriate in the digital environment. The socio-economic situation and the legal environment of transition countries call for a different solution. In this respect the example of Armenia may be instructive for other transition countries as well, especially CIS countries. A recommendation for adopting a certain system for drafting European legislation in the future which will meet the needs of all countries, considering their social, economic and legal situation, has been developed in this thesis.
