X Abstract

<div>The story of copyright is the history of the entertainment industry, including books, music, movies, television, computers, and the internet. Since its inception in America 210 years ago, copyright law has been the primary protector of the right of authors. Over the course of its history, however, myriad technology developments have produced constant pressure on the law, forcing copyright to adapt or expand to accommodate our creations.<br><br>In <i>The Illustrated Story of Copyright</i>, Professor Edward Samuels explains in a straightforward and colorful style the history and intricacies of copyright. From the printing press to the photocopying machine, the phonograph to MP3, this comprehensive guide explains the basic principles of copyright law and brings to life the relevant copyright technologies.<br><br>Samuels takes copyright, commonly perceived to be difficult subject, and gives it a fresh and engaging edge. <i>The Illustrated Story of Copyright</i> is an essential tool to navigate the complex partnership of creativity and property rights.<br></div>
