In early April, Springer (New York) will release "EU Digital Copyright Law and the End-User," a new book that explores the legal framework of EU digital copyright law from the perspective of the end-user. Targeted to lawyers, policymakers and academics interested in copyright law, the book evaluates the economic and legal consequences of the rise of user-generated content for existing copyright rules, with reference to human rights law, competition law and other policies contained in the EC Treaty. It includes information on policy options that may help establish a balance between digital copyright law and the preservation of constitutionally-mandated end-user activities such as personal use, private copying, educational and research activities. It also covers other consumer digital rights, Internet governance, freedom of expression and user data protection. The new volume costs $159.
