This is your complete guide to the law and business of book copyright.

It starts with the basics. What is copyright? You will learn what it protects (your expression) and what it doesn't (your idea). We explain when protection begins. (Hint: it's automatic, the moment you write it down!) The book covers the bundle of rights you get as an author. These include economic rights, like the power to copy, sell, and adapt your work. They also include moral rights, like the right to be named as the author. We then go global. You'll understand the international treaties that protect your book around the world, like the Berne Convention. The book explains how digital copyright works, from ebooks to the WIPO internet treaty. We also cover the full lifecycle of your copyright. This includes how long it lasts (usually your life plus 70 years) and what happens when it enters the public domain. You will learn how to value your copyright as a financial asset. We show you how to monetize it through subsidiary rights, like film deals and translations. The book explains the difference between selling your copyright (an assignment) and renting it (a license). Finally, we teach you how to protect your work. You'll learn about infringement, DMCA takedown notices, and legal exceptions like fair use.
