Overview

Formerly known as the Yearbook of Media and Entertainment Law, from 1999 this well-established Yearbook is renamed the Yearbook of Copyright and Media Law to emphasise its ever-growing level of copyright and intellectual property law coverage. To cement this new emphasis, Alison Firth joins Eric Barendt as joint General Editor of the Yearbook, while new survey sections feature the implementation of the EC Directive on the Term of Copyright, and annual reviews of Trade Mark cases and developments affecting Collective Licensing. The Yearbook is designed to respond to practical developments and problem areas such as the Internet and Multimedia while also making a serious contribution to copyright and media law as a legal discipline. The central feature of the Yearbook is the range of annual surveys prepared by expert practising lawyers. Covering all issues from copyright, trademarks, licensing societies and new technology to libel, contempt of court and music contracts, the surveys contain considered and thorough analysis of the most recent developments in the UK, the EC, and beyond. In a global industry, this comparative and international approach is vital. In addition, each edition of the Yearbook contains a special survey and in-depth articles on subjects of particular topicality. A further feature is the review of recent publications. Up to date and informative, the Yearbook is now well-established as a key source of information and analysis for all copyright, media and entertainment law professionals.
