But does copyright law really understand creativity? Should legal theories alone inform our regulation of the creative process?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book views copyright law as a law of creativity. It asks whether copyright law understands authorship as other creativity studies fields do. It considers whether copyright law should incorporate non-legal theories, and if so, how it should be adjusted in their light. For this purpose, the book focuses on one of the many rights that copyright law regulates – the right to make a derivative work. A work is considered derivative when it is based on one or more preexisting works. Today, the owner of a work of authorship has the exclusive right to make derivative works based on her original work or to allow others to do so. The book suggests a new way to think about both the right, the tension, and copyright law at large. It proposes relying on non-legal fields like cognitive psychology and genre theories, and offers new legal-theoretical justifications for the right to make derivative works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the first book to consider the intersection between copyright law, creativity and derivative works, this will be a valuable resource for students, scholars, and practitioners interested in intellectual property and copyright law.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45566688493806,"sku":"9780367583507","price":62.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/copyright-law-and-derivative-works-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
