Fandom is a cultural phenomenon, embraced by millions of people worldwide, and its expression is the driving force for fan conventions, websites, and other forms of expression. Fandom and the Law is a current and unique resource that looks at the sociology of fandom, as expressed in fan-created content, and how established legal doctrines affect the creation and dissemination of fan fiction, fan art, fan film, and cosplay (costume play).
Author Marc H. Greenberg is a law professor who teaches in the areas of entertainment, copyright, and pop culture, and he also represents comic book creators and historians on a diverse array of legal projects.
