Course Description
This course offers a specialized focus on law that applies to media and entertainment industries. It begins with a study of four relevant areas of law: freedom of expression, confidentiality and piracy, defamation, and freedom of public information. The course, then, considers the regulation of print media and communications industry by probing contentious issues such as phone-hacking, online harmful content, and political broadcasting. The second part of the course offers a detailed engagement with intellectual property and entertainment law. In this part the focus is upon issues of copyright, trademark, and patents. The course concludes with an overview of performers' rights, license agreements and artistic freedom of expression.
