LEH-Letter: Copyright, New Media Law & E-Commerce News

Most recent issue: LEH-Letter 18 April 2012

The LEH-Letter is published 4-6 times per year and is available for free from the offices of Lesley Ellen Harris.  This e-letter has been published since 1997.  2012 marks the 17th year of publication of the LEH-Letter.  We are fortunate that the National Library of Canada archives all issues of the LEH-Letter. You may view them at http://epe.lac-bac.gc.ca/100/202/300/copyright-a/.

The LEH-Letter, also titled, Copyright, New Media Law & E-Commerce News, began as a way to inform my clients and students about news in copyright. When created, its purpose was to save my office time in sending the news out individually! Times have changed with respect to how we all now share news. Thousands of people now read the LEH-Letter.

Headings in the LEH-Letter include:

• Studies, Legislation and Conventions
• Legal Cases
• Of Interest
• Seminars and Publications

Summary news (one paragraph) is provided on recent developments in North America and globally under the above headings.  For more in-depth coverage of copyright, licensing and digital property, editorials, practical advice, book and weblog reviews, see The Copyright & New Media Law Newsletter.

Our approach is global, practical and unique. We do not aim to cover all issues, but rather summarize specific news items from court cases to new legislation to interesting digital ventures. Many of our articles deal with copyright compliance, managing the use of digital and print copyright-protected materials, and education on copyright and licensing. Online, in-person and conference sessions on copyright, licensing and legal aspects of digital property are covered in the e-letter, and related publications are mentioned.
