Opis

Media and entertainment law is one of the fastest growing sectors of practice in the UK and European Community. Practicing lawyers are hungry for information and informed analysis of the latest developments in this fast-moving field. This Yearbook spans the traditional concerns of media lawyers such as free speech and freedom of the press generally, including libel law and contempt of court as well as the core areas of entertainment law practice such as copyright, contracts, licensing and competition. The central feature of the Yearbook are the annual surveys prepared by expert practicing lawyers. Covering all the key issues from libel, contempt of court, music contracts, new technology, competition, regulation and copyright, these surveys contain considered analysis of the most recent developments in the UK, European Union and beyond. In addition, each volume of the Yearbook contains articles of particular topicality and a review of recent publications in the field.
