Produktbeschreibung
Multimedia products have recently experienced tremendous market success. Yet too often they are given inadequate protection under existing national and international copyright schemes. Irini Stamatoudi provides one of the first comprehensive, comparative treatments of multimedia works and copyright protection in this clear and concise volume. A detailed introduction outlines the nature of the multimedia work, as well as the scope of existing legislation; separate chapters consider collections and compilations, databases, audiovisual works and computer programs (video games are here treated as a 'test case'). Stamatoudi then analyses issues of qualification, regime of protection, and offers a model for a European legislative solution. Copyright and Multimedia Products will interest academics and students, as well as practitioners and copyright policy makers.

Table of contents:
1. Introduction; 2. The scope of multimedia works; 3. Traditional literary works; 4. Collections and compilations; 5. Databases; 6. Audiovisual works; 7. Computer programs; 8. Video games as a test case; 9. Multimedia products and existing categories of copyright works; 10. A regime of protection for multimedia products; 11. Conclusion.

Although multimedia products are highly successful, they are inadequately protected by existing copyright schemes.
