Book Review:
This is a pioneering text on entertainment and broadcasting law in Sri Lanka, written by Chanakya Jayadeva, a well-known Sri Lankan attorney and media personality. Having commenced his legal career at the Attorney-General's Department in 1998, Jayadeva later established a successful private practice in civil and commercial litigation. Being involved in the entertainment industry while practicing law (he is a prime-time news anchor on national television), he became aware of the deficiencies in Sri Lanka's media trade. This work represents his endeavor to introduce international entertainment and broadcasting norms to Sri Lanka. Written with both legal practitioners and artists in mind, the book covers broadcasting law, intellectual property rights, copyright, performance rights, contracts, licensing, defamation, privacy, and censorship. This book is an invaluable resource for lawyers, artists, media professionals, and anyone involved in Sri Lanka's entertainment industry.
