Media and entertainment law is one of the fastest growing sectors of practice in the UK and European Community. Practising lawyers are hungry for information and informed analysis of the latest developments in this fast-moving field. This Yearbook spans the traditional concerns of media lawyers such as free speech and freedom of the press generally, including libel law and contempt of court as well as the core areas of entertainment law practice such as copyright, contracts, licensing and competition. In addition it covers the emerging fields of new technologies, the impact of the much heralded `information highway' upon media law, the effects of European Community initiatives in this area and the ever changing subject of broadcasting regulation. The Yearbook consists of high-quality analytical articles, important annual surveys of developments in all these fields and reviews of recent publications, all of which will be of interest to the practising and academic lawyer.
'A unique collection of articles, survey analysis and book reviews covering a wide range of legal topics relevant to this area of law..tucked away within the work, is some very interesting material produced by both academics and industry participants.'
'The strength of this book lies both in the unique position it occupies in the field and the depth of analysis brought to bear in the examination of the issues arising in the years 1993-94...excellent and strongly recommended work' * Entertainment Law Review *
'a very substantial piece of work...There is a great deal of valuable material in this volume. Many of the articles, in particular, constitute significant contributions to the development of the areas under discussion. The annual surveys also contain much useful information...the Yearbook will be a worthwhile addition to the library of anyone interested in media law.'
'The compass of the book is as wide as the title suggests...covers the major theories as well as the legislative attempts, with a wealth of detail as to the impact such legislation will have on the freedom of the press...excellent and strongly recommended work.' * Entertainment Law Review *
