Copyright Business
This blog began in 2008 when I was researching my PhD. The central policy I was researching was actually copyright enforcement. The detailed analyses of the various policy initiatives I studies can be found under the relevant menu headings. If copyright enforcement is your interest, please look under menus for Telecoms law / Telecoms Package, ACTA, Britain and France (Hadopi law) where I covered these policies extensively in real time. This blog section deals more generally with copyright, and I will put any new commentary (from 2024) here. I may also address copyright in the AI section, as that is the new battleground.
