TYGlobe

Entertainment Media provides full-spectrum customized legal services across the entire industry chain and process, precisely addressing emerging business models and technological innovations. As a vital component of the cultural sector, the entertainment media industry has demonstrated vigorous growth in recent years. From traditional film and television production, distribution, and exhibition to emerging fields online audiovisual content, social media, and digital entertainment, the industrys boundaries continue to expand with increasingly diversified business formats.


During this rapid development phase, legal issues within the sector have become increasingly complex and varied. In film production, copyright concerns emerge from the initial scriptwriting stage, including originality protection and lawful acquisition of adaptation rights. During filming, production teams must manage contractual relationships involving actor contracts, venue rentals, equipment procurement, and leasing—any legal loophole in these processes could trigger disputes. For instance, actors mid-project withdrawals due to pay disputes or scheduling conflicts may jeopardize entire projects.


Legal risks persist in distribution and exhibition phases, including the legality of distribution channels, scope of screening rights authorization, and accuracy of box office statistics. With internet technology advancements, new entertainment media sectors online audiovisual platforms and social media have introduced fresh legal challenges. Digital platforms now face compliance issues such as copyright review for user-generated content, online privacy protection, minor safeguards, and algorithmic recommendation regulations. For instance, some short video platforms have faced numerous lawsuits due to user-generated content infringing on intellectual property rights, while social media platforms frequently face public criticism and legal sanctions for personal information leaks.
