This Interactive Casebook provides a comprehensive and provocative introduction to copyright doctrine, policy and the contemporary controversies that animate the field. Numerous call-out boxes provide students direct links to a wealth of on-line resources including audio and video clips of the work at issue in many of the included cases.

Short essays interspersed throughout the volume -- called "Copyright in the Real World" -- link the material in the cases and notes to every day scenarios with which students will be familiar. These features, along with the judiciously edited cases chosen for their interesting fact patterns, will promote lively class discussion and will suit the needs of all copyright teachers regardless of emphasis or level of experience.
