Transmission of copyrighted work over the Internet has resulted in the introduction
of a new exclusive right: the right of communication to the public,
which was established by the WIPO Copyright Treaties. However, in implementing
the Treaties, different jurisdictions have their own understandings
and legislative solutions. This book examines these laws and the nature of the
new right of communication to the public. In addition, copyright exceptions
are an important way to balance the relationship of interest between copyright
owners and the public by way of free uses, statutory licences and compulsory
licences. In the environment of the Internet, this way is still effective
on adjusting the relationship. This book analyses the relationship between
transmission over the Internet and the exclusive rights, and examines all exceptions,
such as fair use, sui generis rights, library and archive exceptions
and educational use exceptions.
