Summary
A comprehensive comparative-law study looks at the ways in which the legislative bodies and the legal practice in over forty selected countries attempt to balance adequate copyright protection, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the legitimate interests of third parties – especially the interests in the widest possible dissemination of knowledge and culture.
