The course aims at providing students with a basic knowledge of copyright and the norms that regulate the world of entertainment, starting from the ideation phase of the intellectual product intended for the show, then moving to the production phase and finally to marketing. After a theoretical study, the student will deal with the main legal issues and the fundamental contracts adopted in the musical and audiovisual-cinematographic areas and finally in those intended for the theatre audience. Finally, students will deal with the functioning of the intermediation system of copyright and related rights, by examining the procedure adopted by authorised intermediaries (Siae and others).
