      abstract = {As one of the most flexible of the intellectual property  rights, copyright law is under constant pressure to adapt  and expand in the face of new and sometimes unforeseen  challenges and developments. This book is the first in an  important new six volume series whose aim is to consider  the purpose, role, function and future of the copyright  system. The book, and indeed the series, comprises  thoughtful, critical and often challenging contributions  from an international, multidisciplinary network of  scholars. It brings together perspectives on copyright from  law, politics, economics, cultural studies and social  theory in an effort to forge a truly coherent and  meaningful agenda for the future of copyright.  Volume 1  presents first a thorough re-examination of the underlying  theoretical foundations of copyright law, engaging with  such issues as the moral justifications for copyright, and  the appropriateness of copyright in a globalised world. The  book goes on to examine the convergence and divergence of  intellectual property rights in the context of  globalisation.  Bold in its attempt to be original, this  book should be read by anyone interested in the future of  copyright, regardless of discipline, and in intellectual  property more generally.},
