The present state of copyright law and the way in which it threatens the remix of culture and creativity is a shared concern of the contributors to this unique book. Whether or not to remain within the underlying regime of intellectual property law, and what sort of reforms are needed if we do decide to remain within this regime, are fundamental questions that form the subtext for their discussions.
Industry Reviews
'This collection of essays is a stimulating, topical, informative and thoroughly enjoyable read, and comes highly recommended by the reviewer.' -- Maureen O'Sullivan, Script-ed
'The essays are provocative. They argue that the integrity of the artistic work and the "protection of traditional cultural creativity" must be protected, yet one must recognize the enormous value (and creativity) of Hans Christen Andersen's "transformative use of the cultural commons." Many creators other than Andersen - from Dickens to Australian Aboriginal peoples - fill these pages: accordingly, this volume will stretch the mind. Highly recommended.' -- J.G. Holland, Choice
'This is not a lighthearted book, but rather an inspiring tale that challenges the development of copyright. A detailed historical analysis of copyright leads to fundamental questions about the role of copyright in society. From a historical perspective a tale of failure blamed on commodification surfaces, but the book also offers perspectives on the future, i.e. a future with or without copyright as we know it. Maybe after all there will be a fairy tale ending for the reader.' -- Paul Torremans, University of Nottingham, UK
'Once the preserve of a few legal specialists, the wider implications of copyright law are more and more the concern of literary scholars and cultural analysts as well as of increasingly sceptical lawyers. Helle Porsdam is to be congratulated on assembling and editing this interesting collection of essays, which rightly opens up even further the debate on the cultural role of copyright law, one in which every one of us should participate.' -- Ruth Towse, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands
