Reviews

Copyright Beyond Law: Regulating Creativity in the Graffiti Subculture makes a strong contribution to the intellectual property scholarship by offering a highly illuminating and compulsively readable legal discussion that dares to move outside the boundaries of the law and ask what lessons we could learn from self-governed, outlaw communities compelled to forbear copyright protection
*Osgoode Hall Law Journal*

Copyright Beyond Law is the type of book I fantasise about writing. It combines empirical research with structured analysis to present a nuanced view of copyright, cultural norms and IP protection beyond IP rights, with just the right touch of interdisciplinarity. I would have really liked to see images of graffiti in the book, but the author is right to respect her understanding of their copyright. Copyright scholars, sociologists and lawyers involved in graffiti cases will find this book most useful.

All in all, Iljadica's book manages brilliantly to narrate how graffiti creativity works and is regulated from the inside.
*European Intellectual Property Review*

Iljadica artfully weaves themes through the book, moving between empirical, historical, quasi-sociological, and doctrinal discussion in a way that rewards a linear reading...Iljadica’s work provides much-needed comparative analysis with important implications for assessing the proper role and need for moral rights.
