Following the successful launch of the Information Law Series Archive in September 2024, ten more volumes have been made freely available on the IViR website. These include the groundbreaking and much-cited dissertations by Martin Senftleben on copyright and the three-step test, Mireille van Eechoud on applicable law in copyright, and Ashwin van Rooijen on software copyright and competition law.
Other volumes that are now available online are two rich essay collections exploring the interface between copyright and the public domain: The Commodification of Information (on the ‘propertization’ of information, edited by Niva Elkin-Koren and Neil Netanel) and its counterpart The Future of the Public Domain (on the commons in information law, edited by Lucie Guibault and Bernt Hugenholtz).
Also included in the archive are IViR’s comprehensive study on the harmonization of European copyright law, as well as the first two editions of Paul Torremans’ monumental collection on the intersection between intellectual property and human rights.
More volumes will be added to the online archive in due course.
The Information Law Series, established in 1991, is the world’s first and foremost academic book series in the field of information law and policy. Publications in the series are aimed not only at scholars and advanced students, but also at practitioners and policy makers who are active in this rapidly expanding field. Since 1991, forty-eight volumes were published in the series, covering a vast and constantly growing range of current issues.
A complete list of all volumes published in the series is available here. All books in the series remain in print and can be purchased from the Wolters Kluwer web store.
