Author: Wilson, Jennifer PhysDes: ArticleSubject: DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY ; DISTRIBUTION ; COPYRIGHT ; LAW AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA Summary: New digital techologies allow the creation of new forms of content, including games, websites, mobile and interactive stories. They also allow the repurposing of heritage media - content originally intended for film or telelvision screen. Wilson argues that current copyright legislation has failed to keep up with these technological innovations, thus impeding their uptake. She proposes several models of distribution online.

Though much of Hollywood's engagement with the law occurs offstage, in the larger theater of copyright, many of Hollywood's valued treasures - from Modern Times (1936) to Star Wars (1977) - cannot be fully understood without appreciating their legal controversies. Peter Decherney shows that the history of intellectual property in Hollywood has not always mirrored the evolution of the law and recounts these extralegal solutions and their impact on American media and culture." - BOOK BLURBNotes: Contains list of illustrations and indexISBN: 9780231159470

It began in the middle of 1977 with what seemed a serious but completely contained incident of embezzlement: David Begelman's forgery of Cliff Robertson's name on a $10,000 check. But by the time a year had gone by, the lives of these men and dozens of other very powerful Hollywood figures would be engulfed in a holocaust of controversy and pain that would rock the foundations of the world's most glamorous industry for years to come."
