I'm a graduate student taking a Copyright law course to supplement and solidify my interest in image rights for a non-law master's degree. One of the authors is the course instructor and her enthusiasm makes the subject matter even more interesting. I'm not used to law texts so some of the references to other legal jargon/resources are confusing (especially in instances when it appears to require, or at least suggest outside reading to understand a tangent idea, but it doesn't seem to be in the case and statutory supplement?), as can be the writing style, however the concepts are generally proposed clearly and the case history is fascinating.

This is a very good book for second and third year law students and practicing attorneys. You do need a good background in basic 1L courses to understand many of the arguments in this book. Highly recommended for IP attorneys, and probably contains too much information for anyone else not specifically interested in copyrights.
