Media Law for Producers, Fourth Edition

Rating:
Summary: A solid resource with which to educate oneself
Review: Knowledgeably written by Philip H. Miller (an expert practicing attorney specializing in media law), and now in its fourth edition featuring new and expanded sections on option agreements, the use of copyrighted materials, developments in Internet law, as well as interactive productions, Media Law For Producers is a straightforward, 399-page guide to legal issues relevant to media projects for theatrical, television, radio, print, or electronic projects from production contracts, to copyright registration for finished programs, and more. Specifically written to be accessible to the non-specialist general reader, and to be as a solid resource with which to educate oneself before consulting with a media attorney who would charge by the hour for his expertise, Media Law For Producers is a "must-have" resource for anyone seriously involved in producing a media project regardless of the subject matter or format.
