Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on Schumpeter's theory of creative destruction, the book explores whether the expansion of the duration of copyright promotes or precludes the growth of the book publishing industry. The book reviews the historical development of UK copyright expansion and also considers copyright in the digital age. By exploring legal and economic aspects of copyright protection, and the expansion of copyright duration in particular, the author suggests changes to copyright policy which would have a significant impact on the economics of innovation in the creative industries.
