Sommario/riassunto

This book examines various types of fan-created content and asks whether and to what extent they can be protected as transformative uses. Offering more thorough coverage of many such controversies than has ever been available elsewhere, and discussing fan works from the United States, Brazil, Russia, India, and China, Fanfiction, Outsider Works, and Copyright advances the understanding of transformative use and points the way toward a ""safe harbor"" for fan fiction.
