      abstract = {This fourth volume in the series contains further  exploration of the main themes considered in the first  three volumes and brings together perspectives on copyright  from law and legal theory, political economy, human rights,  cultural studies and social theory.  New Directions in  Copyright Law, Volume 4, offers insightful contributions  from leading commentators on a range of issues affecting  the development and direction of copyright law. The volume  is divided into six parts. In the first part, the  theoretical framework of copyright law is explored through  the concepts of the market place of ideas and the public  domain. While a number of chapters address substantive  aspects of copyright law reform, the second part of the  volume contains a chapter that marries substantive  questions with issues around the mechanics, limitations and  possibilities of the reform process. In the third part, two  chapters consider the problematic notion of paternity  rights from contrasting disciplinary perspectives. The  interface between copyright law and the burgeoning of new  technologies is considered through a range of theoretical  and methodological approaches. In the fourth part of the  volume legal theorists address issues around open access,  open source, free software, and the implications of network  theory for the relationship between copyright law and the  Internet. Moving away from the concerns of so-called ‘high  technology’, the fifth part of the volume considers the  equally fraught question of the protection of traditional  knowledge and cultural property through an analysis of the  limits of law. The final part of the volume, which deals  with copyright’s uncomfortable relationship with human  rights, sees a return to issues around the new technologies  with a focus on the political economy of open source  software, and on the issue of information access and  fundamental rights.},
