Bainbridge: Software Copyright Law

by David I. Bainbridge

Written in clear, concise language, the second edition of Software Copyright Law brings the reader fully up to date with all the latest developments in this notoriously complex area of law. Laid out logically, the chapters include checklists, flowcharts, case studies and diagrams and there is a full glossary of technical terms to take into account different levels of computer literacy. All aspects of software copyright law are covered, including topical issues such as decompilation, error-correlation, reverse analysis and the 'look and feel' of computer programs. Important legal cases and practical examples are given throughout the text and recent influential US developments and EC law implications are discussed.
