From the reviews:"This book by Giuseppe Mazziotti draws on the contents of his PhD thesis. In general, it considers the intersection between copyright law and digital technologies. ... The formula of the book is uncomplicated yet effective. ... it is well sustained by a wide-ranging bibliography and reasonable index. ... is a worthy recommendation for law libraries. ... it will interest students and academics involved with copyright law and technological developments. It will also be of great interest for copyright lawmakers in the European Union [...]." (Ghufran Sukkaryeh, European Intellectual Property Review, Vol. 30 (II), 2008) "[...] useful [...] for anyone wanting to understand the workings and implications of the EU InfoSoc Directive, in effect Europe's DMCA. More important, Mazziotti points out that the InfoSoc Directive and the application of the 3-step test for exceptions have potentially gutted certain rights to make a private copy under the European private copying schema. Instead, he argues for more robust user-rights for both transformative and non-transformative uses. I support this conclusion." (David Lametti, http://www.cipp.mcgill.ca/blog/category/entertainment-law/)"The book is clearly written and thus provides well-structured argumentation. ... Mazziotti makes recommendations on how the copyright law should be developed. ... Mazziotti's book offers an interesting approach to the European copyright debate. The author is well-informed and is able to skillfully describe the differences between different views." (Niklas Bruun, IPRinfo, Issue 5, 2009)
