A new book, edited by Professor Brian Fitzgerald, Professor Fuping Gao, Mr Damien O’Brien and Mr Sampsung Xiaoxiang Shi, focuses geographically on the Asia-Pacific, and particularly on China and Australia, but addresses universal themes about the law of copyright and its adaptation to the Internet in the 21st century said the Hon Justice Douglas at the launch in Brisbane yesterday.

Justice Douglas noted that "Copyright law, digital content and the Internet in the Asia-Pacific" is another example of cutting edge work being produced at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation (CCI), the University of Queensland and the East China University of Political Science and Law. It is a book that "will help us develop clearer ideas about how best to exploit the creative opportunities offered by the creation of digital content and its distribution on the Internet."
