N2  - 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.
