I too have looked for such a beast, and usually failed. The US Civil Code

is online (at Stanford Uni, I think). WIPO too at http://www.wipo.org/


As far as I understand it, copyright is largely independent of the medium,

though different media require different exploitation rights obviously.


Currently on my desk is Holyoak and Terremans' 'Intellectual Property Law',

published by Butterworths. It does a fine job of explaining the CDPA.


If you want a laugh, try calling a record company's head legal and business

and asking your rights under the 'fair dealing' provisions...


Cheers
