Law 633: Copyright
Recommended Additional Reading
There's lots of excellent copyright scholarship out there, and we won't have time to read or discuss any but a tiny sliver of it. If you find that you are interested in this area of law, you may want to do further reading on your own. Here are some recommendations for places to start. Depending on how things go, it is possible that I will add one or more of these items to the syllabus. Unless and until that happens, though, these are just recommendations for further reading you may want to do if a topic captures your imagination.
