Author:

In response to the increasing convergence of technologies in the entertainment industries, this thoroughly updated and revised fifth edition makes the casebook more timeless. Providing contract templates covering book publishing, recording contracts, actor agreements, video game agreements, and internet agreements, among others, this new edition is more useful and illustrative of the business of entertainment for lawyers, students, and industry professionals than its competition. Introductions, notes, and cases are fully updated to take into account recent changes in the industry. This classic casebook is essential to students at law schools throughout the country and to industry professionals trying to keep up with this ever-changing field of law.

The film, television, music publishing, literary publishing, theater, and new media industries continue to expand briskly, as does the need for guidance on intellectual property, contracts, and many other facets of entertainment law. This fourth edition starts with a new overview of attachments, preliminary injunctions, and summary judgements, because, the authors note, so many of the cases in the text deal with these. The text's first section deals with the general principles of representing talent, talent contracts, acquisition of rights, and other topics, and the second section delves into specific industries, including the Internet and emerging technologies.
