Summary
Aptly depicting street art by two of the most celebrated artists Stik and LA2 on its cover, this book is a timely addition to the bookshelves of academics, practitioners and policy makers with an interest in copyright law. Historically, copyright law has faced a constant demand to expand protection to newer types of subject matter, beyond the conventional categories of literary, artistic, musical and dramatic works. This expansionary trend can be attributed to socio-cultural transformations in post-war societies coupled with technological advancements. Before any commitment to legislative expansions, it is worth examining whether and to what extent the existing regimes can accommodate newer subject matter which challenges traditional boundaries. Enrico Banadio and Nicola Lucchi should be congratulated for curating this edited volume which is both topical and ambitious in its coverage. This volume includes a range of subject matter from graffiti, tattoos, scent, comedic material and magic productions to engineered gene sequences and creations generated by artificial intelligence.
