Description
Digital Media Contracts contains a collection of sample agreements, presenting annotated contracts from the digital media industry in typical formats for the industry. Included are agreements for digital downloads, user generated content, social networks, wireless apps and cloud computing. It goes beyond traditional precedents by giving practical, commercially-grounded commentary and background information to assist both readers intending to draft their own
documents and those looking for hands-on guidance when reviewing standard form documents received from other parties. Lawyers working in the digital media industry, private practitioners and in-house lawyers will find this work especially useful. Its jurisdictional scope is primarily focused on the UK with
comparative comments on similar agreements in the US, with input from lawyers based in the US. This comprehensive guide will provide practical support in the form of checklists and flow-charts, and will include additional supporting documents such as standard NDAs and sample Heads of Agreement.

Reviews / Votes
As much a cultural history as a book about copyright and the related moral rights, this book offers a fascinating angle on copyright, with surprising relevance for the modern publishing industry. * Joss Saunders, Learned Publishing * But as a contracts manager (and perhaps even an intellectual property lawyer) it is easy to feel unequipped and at sea when dealing with digital products or marketing tools. This book could be a lifeboat. * Anji Clarke, Learned Publishing * Overall, this book provides any party involved in media negotiations with useful checklists and model clauses to consider using. * Professor Charles Oppenheim, Managing Information, Issue 9 *More details
