Entertainment, Media and the Law: Text, Cases, and Problems (American Casebook Series and Other Coursebooks)

Weiler (Harvard Law School, Cambridge, Mass.) demonstrates the myriad ways that legal doctrine, social and economic policy, and constitutional principle are reflected in the practices of the entertainment industry. New cases have been added to the second edition that reflect recent lawsuits, including those against the makers of a video game reputed to have influenced the killings at Columbine High School. Topics include antitrust and telecommunications law, defamation, legal restraints on sex and violence, copyright, contracts, corporate takeover, and labor law. Annotation c.
