Discussion of technological facts that give rise to these legal issues is easy to understand without being so oversimplified that readers with technological backgrounds would be skeptical of the analysis. Hutchison also avoids presupposition of knowledge in the area of copyright law, consistently making clear how digital copyright issues fit in the broader copyright law context. In short, the work is broadly accessible despite its engagement with legally and technologically complex concepts. [ . . . ] Readers are invited to conceive of copyright as a policy tool for balancing competing interests, namely authorial incentive, users' rights, and dissemination of copyrighted works to the widest possible audience. The legal issues discussed in each chapter are put in context relative to those interests, creating a coherent whole out of a diverse collection of concepts. [ . . . ] Digital Copyright Law accomplishes what it sets out to do: to provide analysis and commentary on current issues in digital copyright in an accessible way. Hutchison offers enough to satisfy readers with passing interest in the subject, to serve as quick reference for practitioners, and to provide a roadmap for serious researchers. --Jeremy Barber, (2017) 80 Saskatchewan Law Review 489
