BOOK: Stephan MEDER (ed.), Geschichte und Zukunft des Urheberrechts IV [Beiträge zu Grundfragen des Rechts; 43] (Göttingen: V&R unipress, 2024), 310 p., ISBN 978-3-8471-1714-8

 


ABOUT THE BOOK:

The contributions in this volume deal with the broad spectrum of historical and current problems of copyright law. They range from text adaptations in works by the humanist Conrad Lagus to the censorship policy in Gerhart Hauptmann's social drama “The Weavers” (“Die Weber”) and to the question of whether a patron can force an artist to create a work. In addition, insights are provided into the early history of IT law as well as findings on the licensing of platform software and the copyright law for press publishers. The volume makes it clear that the conflict of interests between creator, exploiter and user, which has always existed, cannot be resolved with ready-made templates.

ABOUT THE EDITOR:

Prof. Dr. Stephan Meder has been teaching civil law and legal history at the Faculty of Law at the University of Hanover since 1998.
