"In the Illustrated Story of Copyright, Edward Samuels explains the history and intricacies of copyright. From the printing press to the photocopying machine, the phonograph to the MP3, this comprehensive guide explains the basic principles of copyright law and brings to life the relevant copyright technologies. With over three hundred photos, illustrations, and side-bars, Samuels traces the story of copyright from its adoption in this country 210 years ago to today's headline issues posed by the internet and the digitizing of creative works."--BOOK JACKET |
