Synopsis
Key questions addressed by this IRIS Special:
1. What rights does a VoD provider need?
2. Are contractual standards already in place?
3. What role is played by exploitation windows?
4. What rules determine the relations between different competitors?
5. What experiences from the music industry are useful?
6. How are VoD customers protected?
7. What are the consequences of the newly created dual role of consumer/producer?
The aim of this IRIS Special is to examine in detail the main legal issues related to VoD services. Particular attention is paid to questions linked to copyright law, competition law and consumer protection. The study of contractual arrangements chosen by the VoD industry, particularly in France, the United Kingdom and Germany, describes various legal approaches and gives this IRIS Special a high degree of practical relevance.
