TY - GEN N2 - More than four years have passed since publication of the last edition of Clark's Publishing Agreements, and since then there have been many developments which have affected the publishing industry - legislative and technical as well as changes in practice within the industry itself which impact on the way contracts now have to be drafted. The rationale for copyright legislation as a means of protecting intellectual property and as the underlying framework for trading in the digital environment remains under scrutiny both in the UK and internationally. New rights have arisen; these range from recent moves by major trade publishers to digitise their repertoires (a move made by legal and scientific publishers over a decade ago as a result of customer demand) to the downloading of audio versions of books and podcasting to syndication of print material to enhance websites - all these affect the rights which can be traded and may need to be covered in contracts between author and publishers, and between publishers and their licensees.
