The borders that law sets on entertainment

855
“Collectively the laws relevant to entertainment may be described by the label ‘entertainment law’. However, there is no specialist set of laws which apply specifically to entertainment industries. Instead, the laws that are relevant to entertainment are drawn from a collection of different areas that can have an impact on all phases of the entertainment process. These include the creation phase such as writing, composing or designing; the transaction phase such as communicating, publishing or exhibiting; and the consumption phase such as viewing, reading or listening.”
