thesis
posted on 2012-11-23, 11:40 authored by Ruby S. NaqviThis study examines certain legal issues relating to the
British publishing process, concentrating namely on
author-publisher agreements, electronic publishing,
copyright and the legal ramifications concerned with the
dissemination of cultural literature, leading to issues
of blasphemous libel, defamation, obscenity and breach
of confidence. Where deemed appropriate, legal case
studies have been cited in order to enhance a point, for
example, in terms of electronic publishing, the leading
case involving the Canadian company, Microfor is
examined and the issue of copyright infringement in
databases is highlighted. Also mentioned are various
authors whose works have excited immense public interest
and have had legal implications for the British
publishing world.
