9789041122780: Copyright And Human Rights: Freedom Of Expression, Intellectual Property, Privacy

Synopsis

Originally copyright laws were intended to protect the intellectual property, and thereby the livelihood, of individual authors. Now they frequently protect the profits of corporate media and software products, creating a conflict between copyright and human rights to information. Editor Torremans (law, U. of Nottingham and U. of Ghent) and contributors find this is in fact not new, but has been brewing in international law for some time. Their topics include the issues of copyright and freedom of expression in Canada, international copyright of speech, the UK's Freedom of Information Act of 1998, fair dealing in freedom of expression, the duration of copyright, breach of confidence, and rights of privacy, confidentiality, and publicity. These essays came from the March 2002 "Rights in Information" conference of the British Association for Canadian Studies Legal Studies Group.
