5.0 out of 5 stars An eye opener

I was surprised how much I learnt from this book. I thought I knew a fair bit about copyright, being an infosec pro with a direct interest in copyright-protecting the security awareness materials I write for a living. The book opened my eyes to aspects that hadn't even occurred to me before. It is very well written and engaging. I found it easy and enjoyable to read - this is no dry academic or legal tome, despite the subject matter.

Lots of very useful information. Save your money on visiting with a lawyer by purchasing and adding this book to your collection. Even if you do solicit the services of a legal firm, this book should serve as your own personal knowledge base.

I purchased this book at the online insistence of Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Katherine Rusch. They run websites about professional writing.
I thought it was a bit silly to have a book on the subject until quite literally the next day a professional writer acquaintance had a question- one that was answered on pages XY&Z.

Highly recommended.

This is a comprehensive and useful book for authors. It was also surprisingly easy to read given the topic. The author did a very good job, I though, of explaining the important (and sometimes confusing) concepts.
