The Copyright Guide: A Friendly Guide to Protecting and Profiting from Copyrights, revised edition

This prized legal companion is the definitive handbook for artists, writers, musicians, software designers, photographers, and anyone else who creates, acquires, or exploits copyrights in their business or personal creative activities. Updated to reflect recent changes in U.S. copyright law, this revised edition states fully: what can and cannot be protected under current laws; duration and scope of protection; infringement and how to avoid it; and other pertinent issues. The author, an experienced attorney, takes readers through the ins and outs of copyrights in a logical, progressive fashion, making a complex subject easy to understand. Another valuable feature is the inclusion of several standard form agreements that alone are worth more than the price of the book.
