Laddie, Prescott and Vitoria - Modern Law of Copyright (2 Volume Set)

......................................................................................................................................
Description

This is the first revision of Laddie, Prescott and Vitoria to have been undertaken without any new input from Hugh, Peter or Mary. But this edition,like all previous editions, remains principally their work. The first edition of this book was widely regarded as a magnum opus, presenting clear, thorough and incisive analysis in a fresh and irreverent style unusual in legal textbooks.The challenge has been to retain the unique quality of Hugh, Peter and Mary's work while grafting onto it recent legislative developments and the increasing number of pronouncements of the Court of Justice, many of which are written in language that is turgid, opaque or both. We hope that we have succeeded.
