TRILINGUAL BLOG; MORE NEW DIRECTIONS IN COPYRIGHT


Trilingual blog from the land of the tricoleur

The IPKat recently discovered IPPI, a Russian/French/English language IP blog by Gala Paricheva, an IP specialised lawyer who lives and works in Paris, France. The IPKat says, good luck Gala and keep up the good work: it's good to see more European IP bloggers.


More New Directions in Copyright Law

This, the third in the series of New Directions papers published by Edward Elgar with what appears to be increasing frequency, is edited by Fiona Macmillan (School of Law, Birkbeck, University of London) together with fellow Australian Kathy Bowrey (Faculty of Law, University of Technology, Sydney). A fourth volume will follow.

What the publisher says:
This book, the third in the series, follows the themes considered in the first two volumes and brings together perspectives on copyright from law, politics, economics, cultural studies and social theory in an effort to forge a truly coherent and meaningful agenda for the future of copyright. Contents: Preface Part I: Protection of Traditional Knowledge and Culture Part II: Developments in Rights Neighbouring on Copyright".
What the IPKat says:
Published in association with the AHRC Research Council, this collection of papers shows that, despite its longevity as a legal concept, copyright has not exhausted its potential to surprise and delight its students. Having welcomed the earlier volumes, the IPKat was looking forward to this one: he was not disappointed. This time we have two dollops of scholar and fellow blogger Johanna Gibson, one provocatively entitled "Community and the Exhaustion of Culture: Creative Territories in Traditional Cultural Expressions"; the other, "A Right to My Public: Copyright, Human right or Privacy?". There's also a sharp piece of critical analysis from Kimberlee Weatherall on "Pretend-y Rights" - addressing the "insanely complicated new regime" for performers' protection in Australia. Highly commended is Matthew Rimmer's chapter on the moral rights of landscape architects. But even if you're not Australian, there's plenty to read, to think about and to enjoy.
Bibliographic details: 264 pp Hardback, x + 249pp. ISBNs 1 84542 262 7 and 13 978 1 84542 262 2. Normal price £59.95; price from publisher's website £53.96. Rupture factor: mild to non-existent.

  1. This blog is in Bulgarian, not Russian

    "This is my blog about the Intellectual Property world, applicable law, strategies of protection and my respective thoughts. You will see texts in French (en français), Bulgarian (на български) and English. Welcome!"

  2. Thanks, Dariusz, for putting me right. In my defence I can only say that I'm not a very talented linguist and that it looked Russian at the time ...

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
