Description:
The Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee (BOCOG) decided to use
“international standards” regarding entertainment and media
contracts for the Beijing 2008 Games. Seagull Song, who was with King
& Wood’s China office during the planning years, discusses what this
means and the possible ramification to the development of the
entertainment and professional sports industries in China. Specifically,
how are the concepts of “chain of title” and the complexities of music
royalties to be dealt with in the post-Olympic world in China? How have the
domestic and local legal firms addressed ambush marketing and unauthorized
retransmission?
