Abstract
For many years copyright was a backwater of the law. Perceived as an esoteric and narrow field beset by hypertechnical formalities, the discipline and its practitioners were largely isolated from scholarly and case law developments in other areas. There were exceptions, of course. Well before the explosion of intellectual property litigation in the last twenty years, persons such as Zechariah Chafee, Jr. and Judge Learned Hand brought a wealth of learning and broad perspective to copyright. But by and large copyright looked only to itself for guidance.
