Description

Cases and Materials on Copyright and Other Aspects of Entertainment Litigation Including Unfair Competition, Defamation, Privacy 8th Edition David Nimmer ISBN 9780769847351

First published in 1971, this uniquely comprehensive casebook addresses key areas of law essential to the practice of copyright and entertainment litigation, including the right of privacy, defamation, the right of publicity, and unfair competition.

Cases and Materials on Copyright and Other Aspects of Entertainment Litigation combines a traditional casebook approach with the authors’ deep expertise in copyright and entertainment law. It features minimally edited judicial opinions, thoughtfully designed questions and problems, and concise explanatory text that together promote careful legal analysis and classroom discussion.

Distinct from most law school casebooks, this volume includes numerous visual illustrations, such as reproductions of photographs and paintings drawn directly from the cases it presents. These materials enhance student engagement by bringing abstract legal concepts to life and adding visual context to the legislative and judicial materials.

The newly revised Eighth Edition has been fully updated to reflect the most current developments and debates in copyright and entertainment law. New and expanded coverage includes:

• Fair use

• Federal preemption issues

• “Hot news” misappropriation claims

• Intentional infliction of emotional distress

• False light privacy

• Legal issues surrounding fantasy baseball
