"Internet Television: A Copyright Analysis of Online Streaming Media"

As part of my L.L.M. (e-Law) degree from University College Cork, Ireland I wrote a thesis entitled, "Internet Television: A Copyright Analysis of Online Streaming Media". The thesis asked the question, what are the copyright implications of watching television online?

For more information about this thesis, including a copy of the final draft, please visit HERE.

Below you will find a presentation with a summary of this thesis.
