Multiple Rights Deals |
|
 |
In 2009, most record labels are trying to acquire wider rights or participate in their artists’ other income streams. New entrants are offering innovative deals. Will these models be successful? Are they good or bad for artists and companies? Are there aspects of them which may be unenforceable? Are they really new or is it just a case of history repeating itself? In this year’s IAEL Book, edited by Julian Bentley, international experts discuss the deals and predict how they will develop in the future. Multiple copy discount available for IAEL books |

Celebrity |
|
 |
The IAEL has undertaken to host this examination in its 2005 edition "Celebrity". We
have assembled a fine group of authors from across the world, each well placed in the
entertainment industry, to present their visions on various aspects of celebrity. More
than 20 authors have taken up the discussion, which includes defining celebrity itself,
examining its history and how it operates across the many media and industry
segments, looking at the branding of celebrities, the influence of technology and how
to protect the celebrity brand (and the privacy of their personal lives) while balancing
the freedom of the press and expression. We also ask the question "Is Celebrity
Global?" by casting the spotlight on a number of international territories, offering a
snapshot of the developing law as it relates to celebrity in each. Multiple copy discount available for IAEL books

Competition |
|
 |
The merger of Sony and BMG has turned the spotlight once again onto the issue of competition in the entertainment industries. As companies move to establish their position in the emerging digital markets, talk of mergers and consolidation becomes commonplace. Competition, the legal structures surrounding it and its impact on the market, cultural diversity and consumer choice all form the backbone of this year's IAEL book. From collection societies and the calls for a single European licensing system, through the music, book publishing, film and TV industries, the leading minds in entertainment law dissect the issues and consider the implications of corporate moves and legal precedents. The focus is on competition within and across media industries as well as across markets, looking specifically at competition in Europe and also at emerging media markets such as India, China and Brazil and how competition law impacts on their development and ability to compete globally.

User-Generated Content |
|
 |
In this book, published by IAEL, we have taken on the challenge of examining
UGC from the various perspectives of wide-ranging industries
including music, TV, newspapers, radio, mobile, and advertising,
as well as from the viewpoint of investors. We will explore issues
ranging from the practical (what is the potential value of DRM?)
to the philosophical (what are UGC's effects on language and
culture?). As we explore UGC from different angles, it will be
instructive to consider which factors are consistent from industry
to industry and which differ, and whether this multi-faceted view
results in greater understanding and solutions. Multiple copy discount available for IAEL books
