""The Law and Business of the Entertainment Industry" is designed
to give the reader an inside understanding of the range of factors
that come into play in entertainment industry transactions. The
book examines major areas of entertainment industry endeavor such
as books, film, music, television, and theater from the
transactional side, while also looking at some of their other
aspects, such as copyright, right of publicity, and negotiation.
Each chapter of the book opens with a dialogue between the course
professor and three representative students: an artist student, a
business student, and a law student, in order to frame the issues
dealt with in the chapter for the diverse perspectives that these
students may sometimes bring to the subject matter. After having
read these dialogue openings, the reader is then exposed to an
informational article and several legal disputes which have been
resolved in the courts in each of the subject areas. To stimulate
interest in the readers, they will find that these legal disputes
often involve well known entities in the entertainment industry,
from rock stars and movie stars to television networks and
Hollywood Studio and films.
To enhance the learning experience for the reader, each chapter
closes with a simulated negotiation scenario in the subject area.
After having become familiar with both the overt and covert issues
in each of these industries, readers can then stage negotiations in
class where they role-play characters in the negotiation scenario.
This exercise serves as a tool to entrench their knowledge and
understanding of the entertainment industry discipline.
