Abstract

An analysis of the legal aspects concerning the e-books in Spain and Mexico. A comparative study is carried regarding the financial aspects, the editorial production, the laws on books existing in both countries, author’s rights and intellectual property rights. The publishing contracts and the juridical vacuum in regard to this matter are studied. The problems regarding the unauthorized dissemination of e-books and the protective measures that may be adopted in regard to this problem are also discussed.
