{"product_id":"the-law-for-comic-book-joe-sergi-9780786473601","title":"The Law for Comic Book Creators: Essential Concepts and Applications","description":"\u003cp\u003e Since the creation of the comic book, cases of legal conflict and confusion have often arisen where concepts such as public domain, unincorporated entities and moral rights are involved. As a result, comics creators are frequently concerned about whether they are protecting themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e There are many questions and no single place to find the answers--that is, until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Entertaining as it instructs, this book seeks to provide those answers, examining the legal history of comics and presenting information in a way that is understandable to everyone. While not seeking to provide legal advice, this book presents the legal background in plain English, and looks at the stories behind the cases. Every lawsuit has a story and every case has lessons to be learned. As these lessons are explored, the reader will learn the importance of contracts, the basics of copyright and trademark, the precautions necessary when working with public domain characters and the effects of censorship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe Sergi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786473606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786473601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.85h x 7.49w x 0.52d","brand":"Joe Sergi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120194679039,"sku":"9780786473601","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b21d2dd1-7cd7-4a1b-9eef-cac51f5e766a.jpg?v=1687413034","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-law-for-comic-book-joe-sergi-9780786473601","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
