With a Foreword by Dr Alexander Scheuer, Managing Director of the
Institute of European Media Law (EMR), Saarbrucken/Brussels. It is
fair to say that our lives in the twenty-first century are, in many
respects, dominated by the media and sport; and, when combined,
they are a very powerful force and mix indeed. Without the
commercial exploitation of broadcasting rights and the resulting
spectacular revenues generated, many sports events would never see
the light of day. The first part of TV Rights and Sport: Legal
Aspects contains several contributions on the very important
European Law aspects of sports broadcasting rights in the digital
age as well as TV rights relating to major sports events. The
second part of the book consists of 27 country studies within and
beyond Europe. The authors of the various chapters are all media
law and sports law experts and address, from the point of view of
the law and practice in their respective countries, amongst others,
the following intriguing legal issues: the ownership of
broadcasting rights; the commercial exploitation of those rights;
and, with sport being such big business nowadays, the impact of
competition law, including the vexed questions of the collective
sale and purchase of sports broadcasting rights. The book is a
veritable mine of useful information and one that can heartily be
recommended to all those involved in the creation, promotion,
exploitation and protection of sports broadcasting rights around
the world. A subject that will continue to challenge sports
administrators, event managers, sports marketers, broadcasters and
media service providers themselves and regulators, as well as their
legal and other professional advisers, for many years to come. The
editing team consisted of Prof. Ian Blackshaw, Member of the Court
of Arbitration for Sport, Prof. Steve Cornelius, Director of the
Centre for Sports Law, University of the Witwatersrand,
Johannesburg, and Dr. Robert Siekmann, Director of the ASSER
International Sports Law Centre. The book appears in the ASSER
International Sports Law Series, under the editorship of Dr. Robert
Siekmann and Dr. Janwillem Soek.
