“Entertainment! Entertainment! Entertainment”! A popular movie quoted, perhaps to emphasize how difficult it is to truly define entertainment. Entertainment encompasses print media like books and newspapers, digital media like internet and Dish TV, live media like horseracing, cricket matches and concerts not forgetting the ubiquitous social media. Media is an expanding and evolving industry. As it uptakes new technology, lawmakers have to keep pace with its evolution by enacting laws that plug the loopholes preventing its misuse.

The primary endeavour of the conference is to generate a dialogue on the crossroads of media and law. Oftentimes, the focus of media law revolves around censorship. The Entertainment Law Conference seeks to address other pressing as well as ancillary issues in the entertainment industry and its interplay with law and society. The legal discourse on entertainment cuts across various areas of law, prominent being intellectual property rights, the contract and labor laws, freedom of speech and expression, censorship and human rights. Vital Issues such as license agreements, copyright protections, manpower regulations, censorship and protection of human rights require fine-tuning and clarity and the Conference intends to do the same.
