Overview of class

The legal contexts of creative work, primarily in respect to matters of contract and copyright including artificially created (AI) work. Topics include property acquisition, talent, unions, distribution, merchandising, and software contracts, trademark and intellectual property practices, and the ethics of the deal.

This class does not presume any knowledge of the legal system beyond that of the normal college student; you will learn everything you need to know for this class in the materials and lectures. This course incorporates both the theory and practice of the entertainment/media deal; you will get to work on your own contracts and current issues.

Registration Requirements
