Contents:

1. Placing multimedia products within the scope of copyright -- 2. The scope of multimedia works -- 3. Traditional literary works -- 4. Collections and compilations -- 5. Databases -- 6. Audiovisual works -- 7. Computer programs -- 8. Video games as a test case -- 9. Multimedia products and existing categories of copyright works -- 10. A regime of protection for multimedia products -- 11. Conclusions.

Summary: Multimedia products have experienced tremendous market success. Yet too often they are given inadequate protection under existing national and international copyright schemes. Irini Stamatoudi provides a comprehensive, comparative treatment of multimedia works and copyright protection in this clear and concise volume. A detailed introduction outlines the nature of the multimedia work, as well as the scope of existing legislation; separate chapters consider collections and compilations, databases, audiovisual works and computer programs (video games are here treated as a 'test case'). Stamatoudi then analyses issues of qualification, regime of protection, and offers a model for a European legislative solution. Copyright and Multimedia Products will interest academics and students, as well as practitioners and copyright policy makers.
