The copyright pentalogy : how the Supreme Court of Canada shook the foundations of Canadian copyright law

Geist, Michael, 1968- (Added Author).

Summary: "In the summer of 2012, the Supreme Court of Canada issued rulings on five copyright cases in a single day. The decisions, which were quickly dubbed the 'copyright pentalogy,' represent a seismic shift in Canadian copyright law. In this book, many of Canada's leading copyright scholars examine the long-term implications of these five landmark cases. The diversity of contributors provides rich analysis as the explore five key issues raised by the pentalogy: the standard review of copyright decisions; fair dealing that ensures a balance between the interests of creators and users of content; a technology-neutral approach to copyright law; the scope of copyright law; and the implications of the decisions for copyright collective management." --Back cover.
