"A much-awaited new edition of Paul Goldstein's landmark synthesis
of the history and policies of US copyright law. Goldstein's
comprehensive and deep understanding of the legal, economic, and
technological interests at stake thoroughly illuminates this
sensitive and accessible study. A new concluding chapter
meticulously and critically examines the challenges of 'competing
with free' and the landscape-altering consequences of copyright's
encounter with internet platforms."—Jane C. Ginsburg, Columbia
University
"Paul Goldstein can make the complex issues of copyright law
accessible and captivating without sacrificing the nuances of law,
politics, and custom that underlie them. With this second edition
of Copyright's Highway, Goldstein adds timely narratives, such as
the Google Book Project, to illustrate the evolving nature of
copyright law and its importance to our everyday lives."—Marshall
Leaffer, Indiana University Maurer School of Law
"Paul Goldstein's eloquent call for a more human-centered
discipline of copyright blends perception and prescription to great
effect, indicating to the reader how far copyright has yet to go to
help creativity flourish—and how it might cover the
distance."—Jonathan Zittrain, Harvard University
"Copyright's Highway now an updated and expanded second edition, is
one of the most brilliant, lucid, and readable explanations of what
is increasingly America's national treasure: our intellectual
property. Highly recommended."—Scott Turow, The Authors Guild
"If you care about the future of innovation, creativity,
technology, free speech and privacy and are going to read one book
on copyright, give the second version of Copyright's Highway a
shot. It captures the human drama of battles past, gives a sense of
our present, and provides a glimpse into the future."––Raymond J.
Dowd, New York Law Journal
