Entertainment & Sports Law 2020: Webcast Series
Description:

Although the Entertainment and Sports Law Annual Forum was unable to take place this Spring, the Executive Council has planned a webcast series in order to offer high-quality programming to practitioners. This webcast is the second in the series. 

This program will focus on cases decided this year that arise in the context of (1) the Copyright Act and (2) the field of entertainment. Issues to be discussed include an analysis of applicable statutes of limitations, who owns the law, whether tattoos on basketball players depicted in video games are protected by copyright, whether a state can be liable for copyright infringement and whether cartoon characters are protected by copyright. The cases that will be discussed include cases decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, federal circuit courts of appeal and district courts.

Interesting and relevant subject matter. Especially enjoyed the analysis of de minimis use as it relates to tattoos in video games. Written materials were well written and organized.

Really valuable and coherently presented program.
