Course description
Copyright law stands at the vanguard of the law's interaction with technology. It touches computer science, art, architecture, music, fashion, social media, broadcast media, movies and more. This course provides an in-depth examination of copyright law from its foundations and justifications through to its practical application in novel circumstances. It will develop students' knowledge of the nature and scope of copyright in Australia and will compare Australian law with that of other jurisdictions.
