`Its contributors include a number of world-renowned experts in
both strands of law, including Professor Eric Barendt, Raymond T
Nimmer, Ysolde Gendreau, Wendy Gordon and Jeremy Phillips, with a
foreword by the Right Honourable Lord r stice Jacob... the book is
a substantial collection of papers by authors of distinction on a
fascinating subject. The scholarship distilled is impressive and
the reader cannot but learn and be fascinated by the topic...It
is
not a textbook by any means, but an interesting reflection on how
copyright is evolving in the digital world and with new and
widening concerns about human rights: both comparatively recent
phenomena in the
common law worldIt has been skilfully edited and well indexed to
make it of great value to researchers. It is a book which can be
read with interest in its entirety and would be a useful addition
to any law library'
Robyn Durie, Convergence
`...the Oxford University Press publication is without doubt the
better collection...the Oxford collection provides us with an
ultimately richer and more rewarding read, and precisely because
the essays and commentaries therein rub against and spark off each
other...the editors involved in producing both collections are to
be congratulated. Nevertheless, as suggested by the all too brief
commentary above, it is Griffiths and Suthersanen to whom the
warmest
plaudits must go.'
Ronan Deazley (University of Durham), European Intellectual
Property Review
