      abstract = {The idea of copyright, originally conceived as a means of  protecting the right of individual authors to fair  compensation for their work, has undergone a sea of change  in recent decades. It is now frequently invoked to  safeguard the profits of corporate marketers of widely-used  media and software products, and in this context has given  rise to a surprising new conflict: the collision of  copyright and human rights. "Copyright and Human Rights" is  the first comprehensive analysis of this emerging nexus of  legal issues. In eight incisive essays, well-known  authorities in both copyright law and human rights law  present an in-depth analysis and discussion of such  essential topics as the following: the human rights  credentials of copyright; the relations between copyright  and freedom of speech and expression, from the perspectives  of both North American and European law; the impact of the  US Supreme Court decision in Eldred; the relevance to  copyright of the public interest defence in Euroepan law;  and the fundamental rights of privacy in an intellectual  property environment.},
