    Introduction

    Copyright Law

    All lawyers can benefit from a basic understanding of copyright law. Modern law practice strives to provide services and answer client needs across a growing variety of areas of commerce and law. Firms strive to be a one-stop solution for all of their clients needs. And in these time of growing reliance on technology, big data, visual and audio media, and digital communication, clients of all types and sizes continue to develop legal needs in areas in that are affected by copyright law.

    Lawyers exploring the modern legal landscape will find that many areas of commerce, science and technology, literature, entertainment, and the arts depend on lawyers who have more than a passing understanding of copyright law. The interest and attention we pay to creative, entertainment, and intellectual business matters raises the profile of legal problems that affect people who work and do business in these areas. Even focusing on one areathe arts and entertainment industryreveals that artists, media companies, internet companies, publishing businesses, museums and galleries, insurers, government regulators, everyday consumers, and creative users and re-users of content encounter copyright issues on a daily basis. As a result, no knowledge of copyright law will go to waste in a lawyers practice. Fortunately, although learning one more area of the law is never easy for the young lawyer starting out in practice, with copyright law the study need not be a burden, because copyright law is a fun and fascinating subject for study. This guide was written to help you start the journey.

    If you are a law student purchasing this guide, you obviously are interested in the legal issues that arise in copyright law, the laws and legal standards that apply to answer the issues, and the information needed to make predictions about probable outcomes of copyright disputes. If you are a practitioner seeking to expand your knowledge with the hopes of expanding your practice, you have come to realize that a good portion of your existing or potential clients will continue to have questions that implicate copyright law. If you are simply curious to learn more about this field, read on with the assurance that no matter what your level of interest and experience, this guide is written with the assumption that you most likely do not have any prior knowledge about American intellectual property law or copyright law in particular. You need not even know that much about the law to pick up the ideas and concepts of this area. This is an open guide for the curious.

    Using the Guide

    The purpose of this guide is to orient and acclimate you to the structure, public policy, issues, and vocabulary of the area of copyright law. If you are using this guide while taking a copyright or intellectual property survey course, you will immediately recognize that a guide of this size cannot replace your course text and the supplemental materials assigned by your professor. But it is worth your time to use this guide in the following ways:

    • To get up to speed on the biggest issues of copyright law, and the black letter law addressing those issues, so as to help you master this area for your copyright, art law, or intellectual property survey course.
    • To educate yourself as to your future clients rights, potential liabilities, and options and opportunities regarding legal problems in copyright. Whether you plan to specialize in copyright or intellectual property, or simply want to be available to your firm or law office as an attorney who can take on a novel problem in an exciting and potentially high-profile and high-dollar-value area of your firms or offices practice, this book will be useful to you. In many instances, copyright law has defined rights and responsibilities and created options and opportunities that are not known or fully understood by the average lawyer.
