‘Professor Stamatoudi and Professor Torremans have produced a wide-ranging and comprehensive study of European copyright law in the second edition of their text. The genius of the book is the decision to entrust the different chapters on various aspects of European laws to a collection of copyright experts from across the continent and beyond. Professor Stamatoudi and Professor Torremans have delivered an outstanding book that is a worthy addition to the library of any serious copyright scholar and legal practitioner. The authors should be congratulated on their efforts in this worthy text.’
