This very useful book compares the legislation and case law of Chinese copyright law with those of the United States and European countries, focusing on three subjects - the liability of Internet Service Providers, the ‘fair use’ versus ‘fair dealing’ copyright doctrine, and the copyrightability of live sports telecasts - all of which are unsettled questions of law under the existing copyright regime.

Among the important aspects covered are the following:

secondary liability theories worldwide, including contributory liability, vicarious liability, inducement liability and joint liability;
legislative and technology responses to online piracy: “graduated response” program and fingerprint filtering technology;
pros and cons of the fair-use doctrine v. fair-dealing doctrine;
different outcomes of the Google litigation worldwide;
copyrightability of sports telecasts;
China’s strategy in combating online piracy of live sports telecasts during the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games.
