Law and Business of the Entertainment Industries Hardcover - 2006 - 5th Edition

by Donald E. Biederman; Edward P. Pierson; Martin E. Silfen


From the publisher

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.

First line

Although many creative talents are also adept at handling the business aspects of their professional lives (e.g., Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster and Michael Douglas, in addition to being leading actors, are also successful producers), professional representation is a hallmark of the entertainment industries, in which most of the business dealings are undertaken by intermediaries.
