About this ebook
The book takes a look at the six most important current topics arising from copyright law in the information society, and for each topic provides an in-depth introduction that compares the approaches taken in Europe and the US. Each topic is introduced by an expert, and the issues are then analysed in separate country reports representing nine Asian jurisdictions: China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines.
The six topics are:
The Expansion of Copyright Law and its Social Justification: Introduction by Reto Hilty, Max Planck Institute, Munich
Internet Trade, Digital Works and Parallel Imports: Introduction by Christopher Heath, European Patent Office, Munich
The Collective Exercise of Copyrights: Introduction by Kung Chung Liu, Academia Sinica, Taiwan
