Simon Stokes has once again written a work that somehow manages to be both concise and comprehensive. This is a most impressive achievement wrapped up in a highly readable volumeWithin its pages legal practitioners and academics, students, and those with a general interest in the regulation of our increasingly digitised world will find a treasure trove of useful information and analysis.Professor Fiona MacmillanThe Journal of E-Commerce, Technology and CommunicationsVol 13: Issue 1, Jan 2007an invaluable guide to creators of rights, at any stage in their career, and to their advisors.Ruth SoetendorpThe Law Teacher, Vol 41, No 12007This second edition of Simon Stokes' excellent text is that rare thing, a book that combines detailed analysis of the relevant law and useful practical guidance in a succinct, readable, well-structured form. It will be valuable to anyone with an interest in this areaThe strength of this book is that, as well as engaging with high-level theoretical and policy arguments, it analyses the specific application of copyright law in the digital world, and builds on this to discuss specific practical issues for the lawyer or advisor.Helen DakinCopyright Reporter, Vol 24, No 3Oct 06The text is crisp and clearThe author employs examples and cases drawn from numerous jurisdictions, checklists and chapter summaries to great effect.Professor Jeremy PhillipsEuropean Intellectual Property Review, Vol 28, Issue 3March 2006...a most scholarly work and the issues are structured very cleverly which enlivens the reader's interest. There is also great emphasis on practical aspects; it is well researched and will undoubtedly be essential reading and prove useful the practitioner, academics and students.Hasina Haque, University of StrathclydeSCOLAG Legal JournalFebruary 2006

In this age of digital media everywhere it is very easy to innocently breach those parts of the Copyright Act that apply to digital media.
I am involved in the production of digital media used for educational purposes and for delivery by CD/DVD/streaming video etc. so I needed something that I could use as reference source and importantly was easy to comprehend. I did not wish to spend all day trying to understand if the inclusion of something within the body of the production was legal or not.
Digital Copyright by Simon Stokes fulfills my needs in this respect and covers recent UK and EU legislation, the differences in US legislation and the misconceptions arising from those differences.
Digital media encompasses many modes too complex to list here, but they all seem to be covered in this book. I am glad I bought it, I refer to it frequently if only to provide feedback to others asking if certain 'things' can be included in the 'end product'.
There is no such thing as a 'free lunch' and although not too expensive Digital Copyright by Simon Stokes, in my view helps to keep my productions legal. If you are involved in dealing with the delivery of digital media you should have this book in your personal library.
