Booklist Review

Strong, an attorney and copyright specialist, authored two previous editions of this useful guide. Because Congress has amended the law since the last edition was published in 1984, and technology has taken leaps into uncharted territory, this update is indeed welcome. In straightforward terms, Strong defines the rights of both originators (authors, artists, composers, performers, sculptors, etc.) and users (especially teachers, performers, librarians, and businesspersons). Among the significant issues discussed are tax regulations, special treatment of material created prior to 1978, and international protection. Practical and accessible information from a pro. Index. --Denise Perry Donavin
