This course is designed to develop students’ understanding of key principles of copyright law, focusing too on the issues such as copyright infringement in the digital age and the Internet. The student will be introduced the core principles of domestic copyright law, in the context of international principles relating to copyright.
The issues will focus on the application of these principles to the problems that developing countries face. Since copyright law is one of the core intellectual property rights, the focus of protecting such creative assets hasimplications for our societies because, first, we generate such create assets though our music, folklore etc.; and, second, we are users of these creative assets. An understanding of copyright law from an end-user and creator perspective is therefore critical.
