Back to Legal Assistance
Entertainment Law is that area of law that focuses on the entertainment industry. It is a general mix of various law categories that provide legal services to the entertainment industry. Some of these categories are employment law (employment issues of all the workers in the entertainment industry); immigration law (immigration issues of foreign talent); intellectual property law (protects the ideas of producers of entertainment industry); securities law (looks after payment and collection of royalties of entertainment productions); and insurance law (insurance of productions).
Entertainment Law is generally divided into different sections depending on the kind of entertainment, as each of these sections has its own specific production techniques, workers and unions, rules, customs, and strategies. These sections are:
- Film : Covers all agreements and contracts between producers, directors, actors, scriptwriters, composers, designers, and so on; all trade unions of workers of the production houses; distribution issues; intellectual property, copyright, and trademark issues; financial issues; as well as all other issues that may be related to films.
- Music : All issues related to music, including agreements and contracts between composers, singers, etc; intellectual property, copyright, and trademark issues; financial matters; distribution rights, and so on.
- Television and Radio : Covers all issues related to television and radio, including agreements, finance, licensing, etc.
- Theater : All issues related to theater, including cast and crew, production, rentals, and so on.
- Multimedia : Includes software licensing issues, video game development and production.
- Publishing : Includes all issues related to the print media, like agreements, advertising, and copyright issues.
- Visual Arts and Design : Covers all areas, like artwork and consignment issues, issues related to art dealers, moral rights of sculptors, protection of graphic designs, and industrial design issues.
The potential legal complications of the entertainment industry are just as large, wide, and fast moving as the industry itself is. Taking into account these complications, Entertainment Lawyers (lawyers who specialize in the field of Entertainment Law) have to be highly knowledgeable not only in the various categories of law, but also in all the different aspects of the entertainment industry.
