Product Description

Review
"Not merely does [this book] explain what copyright is and how it works, it also shows how copyright extends for beyond legal protection of writers' right to their work and how it will become a vital issue in the new world of the 'celestial jukebox'. Copyright is really about the shape of the world we live in. Is it a world of absolute individual rights that cannot be impinged upon by the common interest, or is it a world of communal domination to which the individual must submit?... A superb book."

Product Description
From 18th-century copywright law, to current-day copywright issues on the Internet, to tomorrow's "celestial jukebox" - a digital repository of books, movies and music available on demand - Paul Goldstein presents a thorough examination of the challenges facing copywright owners and users.

4.0 out of 5 stars From Times Literary Supplement, July 4, 1997 by James Boyle, 19 Dec 1998
By A Customer
Paul Goldstein, copyright professor at Stanford law school, acts as the consummate insider. His book "Copyright's Highway: From Gutenberg to the Celestial Jukebox" provides an urbane and marvelously readable capsule-history of copyright doctrine and policy from the printing press to the Internet ... Readable does not imply simplistic -- by personalizing the conflicts and cases that have marked the law's major transformations, he is able to cram a remarkably large amount of information and analysis into a small space. Debates over the definition of "public goods" in economics, or the conflict between the Continental and Anglo-American tradition of copyright are covered in a painless but thoroughgoing fashion. The tone is that of a learned guide showing you round a castle he knows and loves; every battlement prompts a new anecdote. ...
