Abstract
This article, in five parts, examines the application of copyright law in the online context. In particular, the various copyright rights that may be implicated by transmissions and use of works on the Internet are considered, as well as certain limitations on liability for online service providers afforded under federal statutes. The application of those rights to various activities on the Internet will be explored, such as browsing, caching, operation of an online service or bulletin board, linking to other sites, creation of derivative works, and resale or subsequent transfer of works downloaded from the Internet. Analysis will also include the application of the fair use doctrine and the implied license doctrine to various Internet activities. In Part III David Hayes examines the provisions of The Digital Millennium Copyright Act with comment also on the proposed EC Copyright Directive.
