About the Contributors
Author
Jennifer Jenkins teaches intellectual property law at Duke Law School, where she has offered classes in Music Copyright since 2007. She is the Director of Duke’s Center for the Study of the Public Domain and writes its annual Public Domain Day article, which is featured in hundreds of news stories each year. Apart from this book, she is also the co-author (with James Boyle) of the open coursebook Intellectual Property: Cases and Materials (6th ed, 2024) and two comic books – Theft! A History of Music, a 2000-year history of musical borrowing and regulation, and Bound By Law?, which covers copyright, fair use and documentary film. Her articles include Mark of the Devil: The University as Brand Bully. You can probably guess which university it is about. In private practice, Jenkins worked on numerous copyright cases, including defending the suit against a parody of Gone With the Wind. She is also a lifelong music nerd whose performances as a pianist probably plateaued when she was twelve.
