Entertainment Law:
a term for a mix of more traditional categories of law with a focus on
providing legal services to the
entertainment
industry. Much of the work of an entertainment
law practice is transaction based, i.e. drafting
contracts,
negotiation
and mediation.
Some situations may lead to
litigation
or arbitration.
Entertainment law is generally sub-divided into the
following areas related to the types of activities that have their own
specific trade unions, production techniques, rules,
customs,
case law,
and negotiation strategies: film, music, TV & radio, theatre, multimedia,
publishing, and visual arts and design.
Defamation
(libel
and slander),
personality
rights and
privacy rights
issues also arise in entertainment law.
