The book begins by examining the historical development of intellectual property law and its impact on cultural heritage institutions. The authors show how the current system has been shaped by the interests of powerful copyright holders, and how it has failed to adequately protect the rights of creators and users of cultural heritage materials.

The book then goes on to explore a range of alternative approaches to intellectual property that could better serve the needs of cultural heritage institutions. These include open access models, fair use exceptions, and sui generis systems of protection. The authors argue that these approaches would allow cultural heritage institutions to more effectively share and use their collections, and would ultimately lead to a more vibrant and creative society.

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of cultural heritage and intellectual property. It provides a clear and concise overview of the current debate, and it offers a compelling vision for a more just and equitable future.
