Zusammenfassung
Alongside that of lawyers, an understanding of the changing nature of copyright infringement requires the inputs of economists, historians, technologists, sociologists, cultural theorists and criminologists. In this examination of the topic, specialists in such disciplines offer their appraisals, and a lawyer provides a commentary on each.
