The Law of Copyright and the Internet


Book Description

This work provides detailed coverage of the current state of international treaty law in respect of copyright issues relating to the Internet and E-commerce. The centre-piece of the book is an article-by-article analysis of the two key World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) treaties tackling the subject: the WIPO Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty, both negotiated primarily as a response to technological developments such as the Internet. It also includes detailed comparative material showing how the WIPO treaties are being implemented elsewhere in the world, and in particular how the EU, Japan and the US are responding to these key issues. This includes analysis of the key EU Directive on Copyright and Related Rights in the Information Society, which is intended to roll out protection across Europe for copyright holders operating in the digital arena.







Handbook of Drug Interactions

For each class of drugs the authors review the pharmacology, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, chemistry, metabolism, epidemiological occurrences, adverse reactions, and significant interactions. Environmental and social pharmacological issues are also addressed in chapters on food and alcohol drug interactions, nicotine and tobacco, and anabolic doping agents. Comprehensive and easy-to-use, Handbook of Drug Interactions: A Clinical and Forensic Guide provides physicians with all the information needed to avoid prescribing drugs with undesirable interactions, and toxicologists with all the data necessary to interpret possible interactions between drugs found simultaneously in patient samples.

Book Description

Set in a boarding house on the bleak Cumbrian coast. A journalist disappears while covering a protest at Sellafield.

Review of Technological Protection Measures Exceptions


Book Description

Copyright is all about balancing competing interests - in particular, balancing the legitimate expectations of copyright owners that there should be appropriate copyright protection for material and the expectations of copyright users that there should be public access to material for legitimate public benefit reasons. Australia's system of copyright law is regarded as one of the fairest in the world, providing significant protections to copyright owners while allowing access to copyright material for specific purposes. Australia also has a well-established system of statutory licensing under which copyright owners are financially compensated for specific use of their material. The need of copyright owners to protect their work in the digital context has seen the development of a range of technological protection measures (TPMs). This committee has been given the task of assessing whether any further exemptions should be considered by the Australian Government. -- foreword.
