Contested culture : the image, the voice, and the law
Examines the phenomenon of images as property, focusing on the legal staus of mechanically produced visual and audio images from popular culture. Bridging the fields of critical legal studies and cultural studies, this analyses copyright, trademark, and intellectual property law, asking how the law constructs works of authorship and who owns the country's cultural heritage.
