Written Assignment

<p>The current use of easily accessible copyright-protected works is putting pressure on a law that effectively originates from a 19th Century construction of law with a 20th Century application in a society for whom accessing the internet was inconceivable.  In this module you will explore the nature of how copyright works, together with related rights including those assigned to databases and computer programs. This module will also provide a link between legal study and application of the law in a real-world 21st Century context, focusing on memes to explore the interrelationship between copyright and other forms of law beyond Intellectual Property (IP) rights. </p>
