Reihe: Intellectual Property, Theory, Culture

This book explores the relationship between copyright law’s exceptions and limitations and the conflicting interests of rightsholders and users.

Beginning with an overview of the history of permissions culture within photography law, the book discusses the flexibility of fair dealing exceptions, and the resulting consequences of the exclusion of photographs within academic activities, projects, and ultimately the avoidance of particular research fields. Discussing the asymmetrical dependencies of stakeholders and photography researchers, the book highlights the issues with permission and fair dealing laws in the UK, and offers industry-based solutions to minimise its adverse impact on academic research on photography.

The book will be of interest to researchers in the field of intellectual property law, copyright law and photography.
