In this new series, Bob Tarantino and articling student Karin Kazakevich discuss foundational elements in the practice of entertainment law. In this episode, they dive into a deeper conversation about content ownership and questions such as who actually owns the final film? What is “title” and why do we track it? And who really has creative control?

If you would like to discuss this podcast, please contact Bob Tarantino or Karin Kazakevich.
