We summarize an eventful 2017 in the media industry, and look at central legal developments.
In the “Media Law Review 2018”, we look at recent developments, and especially how digitization affects the industry. Digitization means that the courts must address new issues, such as the question of copyright and digital TV, and if blogging about another person can be defined as harassment.
It is virtually impossible to summarize (legal) events in the media industry without looking at #metoo. The campaign started in the media- and entertainment industry, but quickly spread to other sectors.Download and read the report here.
In the report, created by #haavindtech, we take a closer look at protection of sources for journalists and an essential judgment by the European Court of Human Rights. We cover the courts’ role in protecting victims of sexual harassment in social media, and how freedom of speech applies when names of convicted felons are published online. In the report we also comment on how the media may appeal a decision on ‘closed doors’.
These, and many other relevant cases are covered by this year’s edition of the “Media Law Review” – enjoy!
Drawing the line of what constitutes media law is not always straightforward. The area crosses paths with IPR, human rights, technolog- and competition law. At #haavindtech, we have combined all these disciplines in one collective and forward-thinking team. Read more about us here.
