Intellectual Property for Producing Theatres (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781983381867)

Very few artists or managers have ready access to a copyright lawyer in their organization, or even know someone to turn to when questions arise. Intellectual Property for Producing Theatres outlines the core principles of copyright (and other protections that are often mistaken for copyright) to give the reader an understanding of the terminology and basis for each protection. In today's cultural atmosphere, new art increasingly borrows from preexisting work, references today's popular culture, or incorporates fact or rumor. This text aims to offer a strong basis of understanding to help the reader identify situations that require legal assistance, and prepare the reader with vocabulary and background knowledge so they can converse effectively with an expert. It traces the contours of what theatres absolutely can and cannot do, and offer examples and guidelines when operating in the grey area in between.
