Understanding Copyright Law Legal Text Series Marshall A Leaffer Books Reviews
- I'm currently using this to outline for my copyright class. It's nice because it seems to be keyed to my casebook (written by Joyce & Leaffer, et al.), so I thought this would be a good idea. The casebook itself has too many notes and questions at the ends of the cases, making it hard to organize. So, once I add info from this, I plan to follow up with my notes from the casebook.
As I'm working on outlining, I'm realizing how utterly AWFUL the grammar is. Four errors in one paragraph? I'm currently being taught that two or three errors in a motion to the court will have the judge thinking less of you as an attorney. MAYBE it's just the version (doubtful). This, combined with the fact that the content is so general that it almost seems to conflict with the casebook, makes me question whether it's a good idea to use this for outlining. I can see myself eventually eliminating all content and leaving only what I could have gotten from the table of contents. However, given that it is so general, I might end up purchasing the hardcopy version to take with me to the final because it's open book and this is really brief and to the point.
I plan to follow up this review when I get my grade. If I get the hardcopy version, I'll also compare that to the version. - This book, although not having the latest reported cases, repeatedly provided me in a recent copyright litigation the immediate answer I needed. Leaffer has written a highly informative book with a readily useable format. During my recent copyright case, I turned to it often and always found some needed direction or other help.
- A nice supplement, but extremely dry and boring. Also, don't buy the version. The version is messed up.

- Bought for a class. Was a good read.
- Really helpful for confusing copyright law class; better than E&E
- this book is fantastic! very clear and concise and does a great job of simplifying/ explaining difficult concepts. it is a great supplement-- highly recommend!
- Copyright law, despite the fact that everybody these days claims to understand it and its surrounding issues, is an enormously complex and convoluted subject. You would not be blamed for dreading the study of copyright law, nor any book that claimed to wrap up the topic in one handy volume. It's a rare law book that not only makes use of such an affirmative title, but then actually lives up to it, and Leaffer has provided. After a very well-written introduction, the bulk of this book covers most of the different legal categories included in copyright law, from procedures to remedies to defenses. Leaffer is not afraid to take as much space as necessary to explain some of the law's convoluted provisions, as can be seen in the 100+ page chapter on exclusive rights. Best of all, Leaffer moves beyond the strict letter-of-the-law reductionism of standard law textbooks, and ably introduces many of the social, political, and cultural issues surrounding the modern uses (and misuses) of copyright law. And all of the above is presented in an informative writing style that consciously strives to not be as dry and pedantic as typical law texts. [~doomsdayer520~]
