「為什麼奧運用了我的歌卻沒告訴我？」
「奧運會侵權了嗎？」
〈歡樂飲酒歌〉一曲在台東阿美族群傳唱已久，但走出部落罕為人知。因為樂音歌聲採集，進而被國外樂團盜用，後遭奧委會作為宣傳曲。對演唱者來說，登上奧運殿堂讓部落音樂被世界聽見原是可喜，然而也憂慮為何權益不受重視？
蘭天律師回憶當年這場跨國訴訟案，從侵權事件爆發到決定訴訟，從台灣發聲到訴諸國際媒體的整個過程，而這場國際訴訟案更催生出「原住民族傳統智慧創作保護條例」，增訂著作權法保障表演著作的立法例。
全書以中／英文梳理案件，還原事實，交代侵權責任，以正視聽。
‘’Why does the Olympics use my voice without telling me?’’
Since Difang Duana heard the Olympics music on the radio and immediately recognized it was his voice in the background. And started this three-year international copyright infringement litigation.
“Elders Drinking Song”, this Amis song, has been passed down for centuries but is rarely known outside. In the beginning, a professor in Ethnomusicology discovered this song during his fieldwork on folk music. Then a foreign band sampled the song into a new song composition and was chosen as the Atlanta Olympics promo song. For the singers, it was gratifying to be heard in the Olympics and let tribal music be known by the world, but they were also worried about why their rights are not valued.
This book was written by Huang Shiu-Lan lawyer, who joined the lawsuit, she recalls the ''Elders Drinking Song'' international infringement lawsuit. From the outbreak of the infringement incident to the decision to litigate, speak out from Taiwan to the international media. This transnational lawsuit prompted Taiwan's lawmakers to put a new law in place: "Protection Act for The Traditional Intellectual Creations of Indigenous Peoples." and add an article protecting "performance" as an independent copyrighted work.

Lawyer Lan
Lawyer Lan, the pen name of Huang Shiu-Lan (Jully Huang), is a native of Taichung and has been in private practice in Taiwan for over 20 years. In her younger years, literature and history were her happy pursuits, and it was by chance that she found her way into the field of law. Years spent in the courtroom and at the contract negotiation table have allowed her to see the ins and outs of her clients' lives, experience the darkness of human nature, and ponder the pace and will of the universe. Often, in the course of litigation and disputes, Lawyer Lan holds the client's hand through difficult times, helping to clarify the real expectations of the parties and guiding them on the right path to resolution in conflicts of a cultural and creative nature. As a result, her intervention helps creators repair or end business relationships and open new chapters in their lives. Lawyer Lan balances the stress of her legal practice with a healthy spiritual dose of travelling, writing, enjoying ancient artifacts, and watching movies and TV shows. In recent years, she has been teaching "Intellectual Property Rights and Contract Negotiation" in the post-graduate program of the Department of Filmmaking at the National Taiwan University of the Arts, serving as an associate professor. When she isn’t working, she’ll likely read or write, sharing her insights into the legal world.
