      abstract = {"The book begins with an analysis of copyright law as it  applies to the physical and the digital world. The  challenges that the law has to face in the digital  environment are specifically addressed by illustrating how  the self-regulating features of the copyright regime have  been jeopardized with the advent of Internet and digital  technologies. The book subsequently analyses the role of  private ordering in the regulation of information and  presents the various mechanisms of self-help that have been  developed so far to address the challenges of the digital  world. The contrast is between the use of end-user  licensing agreements and technological measures of  protection (e.g. DRM) intended to restrict the consumption  of digital works beyond the scope of the copyright regime,  and the use of Open Content licenses (e.g. Creative  Commons) intended to support a greater dissemination and  broader availability of works, amidst other goals. The book  finally investigates the corresponding advantages and  drawbacks of these two divergent approaches, and concludes  by addressing the justifications for governmental  intervention in regulating the operations of private  ordering."--Back cover.},
