My Treatise is Now Available
After seven years of intensive work, my new treatise on copyright is
finally available for purchase from Thomson/West, here
<http://west.thomson.com/store/product.aspx?r=139343&product_id=40449295>.
Justice O'Connor wrote a foreword. I did 100% of the research and
writing, never using assistants of any kind. The book is seven volumes,
all text. My hope is that some day soon there will be a website that
will contain the complete legislative history of the 1976 Act, free and
accessible to all, but until then, I feel uncomfortable charging for
volumes of what is, after all, public domain material.
In single space, printed form, the treatise is close to 6,000 pages and
will be that length after the first year's updates: it is looseleaf and
will be updated twice a year. It is, by almost 100%, the largest
treatise on copyright published, and is the first new multi-volume
treatise on U.S. copyright law in 17 years. Here is table of contents
with approximate page lengths:
