Description: Creativity is the engine of social and economic development. In a legal system, the copyright law system is closely related to creativity, especially the creativity in the cultural and creative industries. But only a balanced copyright system that takes account of the interests of different parties can promote creativity. Therefore, we must constantly examine whether the existing copyright system can reflect the interests and practical needs of different parties, especially in the context of the Internet.
Copyright, Network and Balance of Rights explores the issues of fair use of copyright in the Internet environment, the rights and status of users, the abuse and balance of rights, piracy and the responsibility of network service providers. It discusses the legislation and judicial reform for the above-mentioned issues in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and explores how to achieve the best balance among parties and maximise social creativity under the internet environment. This book has eight chapters in total, divided in two parts. The first part discusses the balance, abuse and fair use of copyright; the second part focuses on the identification of internet infringement and liability.
