Inspired by Strunk & White's The Elements of Style, this elegant, short reference is the perfect guide for screenwriters and creative artists looking to succeed as industry professionals. Readers will quickly understand the laws that govern creativity, idea-making, and selling, and learn how to protect themselves and their works from the legal quagmires they may encounter. Written by an unrivaled pair of experts, John L. Geiger and Howard Suber, who use real-life case studies to cover topics such as clearance, contracts, collaboration, and infringement, Creativity and Copyright is poised to become an indispensable resource for beginners and experts alike.  Features and benefits
  • Provides a concise overview of the intersections between business goals, legal issues, and creative freedom.
  • Written in a conversational tone, the content is accessible and easy to understand.
  • Merges two points of view: from a university professor and expert witness in copyright infringement, and an intellectual property attorney and screenwriter.
  • Compliments the traditional screenwriting program focus on craft with the tools to address inevitable real-world problems.
  • The clear copyright principles on what you can and can't do apply to creating content for films, commercials, television, or the performing arts.  
  • Industry Reviews
    "A screenwriter seeking a basic understanding of the most important legal issues that pertain to the field will likely find Creativity and Copyright useful and readable." * Publishing Research Quarterly *
