Mehr zum Buch

The book examines the landmark Supreme Court decision in Feist v. Rural (1991), which established that databases must possess a minimal level of creativity to qualify for copyright protection. It delves into the conceptual framework of the ruling, particularly emphasizing the definition of what constitutes the absence of creativity. Through this analysis, the author explores the implications of the decision on copyright law and the nature of creativity in the context of databases.
