      abstract = {New Developments in EU and International Copyright Law  draws a comprehensive picture of current, pending, and  proposed copyright developments – legislation,  ‘communications’, white papers and court decisions –  at both European Union and the World Intellectual Property  Organization levels. More than a source of income and a  means of protection for creators, rightholders and the  creative and entertainment industries, copyright is also a  vehicle for technological advances and economic  development. Throughout the European Union, industries with  intensive emphasis on intellectual property rights (mainly  copyright) generate more than a quarter of employment and  more than a third of economic activity. Yet copyright  continues to be plagued by problematic attempts to balance  the interests of rightholders, the public, consumers,  intermediaries, collecting societies, different national  legal traditions and other forces, European and global.  Although it has met certain challenges – some of those  involving new technologies – copyright ‘stretching’  may have reached its limit. This book thus offers a  multi-faceted approach to comprehend the ongoing  developments in copyright, taking into account politics,  policies, the law and what is attainable in the given  circumstances.},
