Abstract

The paper surveys the prospects for reform of copyright law, noting the limitations imposed by such immutables as the international law of the subject, but arguing that ways forward are nevertheless to be found. In particular there is room for systematic re-thinking and international academic work of the kind already found in contract law.

Keywords: Copyright law, Law reform.
