Final Conclusions IndexReviews‘The book is elegantly written throughout and, despite my reservations, I find that it builds a persuasive argument. . . Throughout her book, Craig works tirelessly to persuade us of the veracity of her argument. . . her careful construction of the argument, showing us through judicious use of case law how small shifts in interpretation and attitude can start to make a significant difference, is noteworthy. My anxiety at the reliance of feminist scholarship was unfounded. While its influence is there, Craig’s thoughtful use of its authority means that it melds well into the broader focus of her thesis. I finished the book feeling energised and hopeful that there is perhaps a way that we can move from the current rather polarised and polemical approach and expansionary tendencies in copyright law to one that is more principled and balanced. I highly commend this book to you and hope that when you have read it, you will feel as refreshed as I did.’ -- Charlotte Waelde, Journal of Media Law 'The book is elegantly written throughout and, despite my reservations, I find that it builds a persuasive argument...
