Later this
month, Cambridge University Press is due to publish a book which offers an
examination of the history of criminal copyright.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Since the birth
of criminal copyright in the nineteenth century, the copyright system has
blurred the distinction between civil and criminal infringements. Today, in
many jurisdictions, infringement of copyrighted materials can result in
punitive fines and even incarceration. In this illuminating book, Eldar Haber
analyzes the circumstances, justifications, and ramifications of the
criminalization process and tells the story of how a legal right in the private
enforcement realm has become over-criminalized. He traces the origins of
criminal copyright legislation and follows the movement of copyright
criminalization and enforcement on local and global scales. This important work
should be read by anyone concerned with the future of copyright and
intellectual property in the digital era.
