Recent Developments

This project recently relocated to administrative quarters at USC Law School -- a supportive and ideal new home given USC's prominence in so many areas of the entertainment industry.

 

Oxford University Press has just published Unfair to Genius, Gary Rosen's excellent book on Ira Arnstein, the patron saint -- or bane rather, to his many defendants -- of music copyright litigation.  Information on the book and Rosen, an intellectual property attorney in Philadelphia, is at FORUM.
