"The essays in Hollywood and the Law make for thoroughly enjoyable reading. ... the book represents an important milestone in Law and Film scholarship. ... the book will serve as a primer for Law and Film scholars, and also prompt other Law and Humanities scholars to reflect on whether their scholarship ought to adopt a more practical direction." (Arpan Banerjee, The Cambridge Law Journal, Vol. 76 (1), March, 2017)
Reseña del editor:
Since the earliest days of cinema the law has influenced the conditions in which Hollywood films are made, sold, circulated or presented – from the talent contracts that enable a film to go into production, to the copyright laws that govern its distribution and the censorship laws that may block exhibition. Equally, Hollywood has left its own impression on the American legal system by lobbying to expand the duration of copyright, providing a highly visible stage for contract disputes and representing the legal system on screen.
In this comprehensive collection, international experts offer chapters on key topics, including copyright, trademark, piracy, antitrust, censorship, international exhibition, contracts, labour and tax. Drawing on historical and contemporary case studies, Hollywood and the Law provides readers with a wide range of perspectives on how legal frameworks shape the culture and commerce of popular film.
