This book comprehensively discusses the effects of digital technology on
the way work is disseminated and the resulting challenges concerning the
fair use of copyright. It also analyzes so-called fairness by examining
theories on the system of fair use, demonstrating the "system changes
that will be brought about by technological changes" from the
perspective of economics, i.e., the problem of modification faced by the
system of fair use of copyright.
Exploring the nature and function of fair use and repositioning the fair
use system, the book proposes a better design for China's system of
limitation on copyright and a readjustment of the copyright system.
Lastly, in addition to analyzing the reconfigurations of fair use from
an economic standpoint, the book describes in detail the interactions
between legal systems and cultures.
