Praise for this book

"Dynamic Fair Dealing is a terrific book. A unique and valuable contribution to the scholarship around fair dealing and copyright, this collection offers a fascinating account of contemporary creative and cultural practices that challenge status quo assumptions about copyright law."

--Teresa Scassa, Canada Research Chair in Information Law, University of Ottawa

"The concept of fair dealing is essential in securing a digital environment that reflects the public interest in creativity, access to information, and freedom of speech. No other work subjects fair dealing to such in-depth, sustained, critical, and practical analysis."

--Fiona Macmillan, Corporation of London Professor of Law, Birkbeck, University of London

"Fair dealing is absolutely crucial in order to achieve a just balance of interests in copyright law and to secure the adaptability of the system to a rapidly changing digital environment. However, its scope is not always clear and often needs judicial clarifications. This timely collection presents an interdisciplinary perspective on what is and should be considered fair, by providing not only legal views but also empirical evidence and case studies in the different fields where it applies."

--Christophe Geiger, Director General, Centre for International Intellectual Property Studies, University of Strasbourg
