Re-release: Law and the Oscars
Last year, John B. Quinn was joined by Christopher Tayback, managing partner of Quinn Emanuel’s Los Angeles Office. John served as General Counsel of the Academy for over 30 years, and both Chris and John have represented the Academy in various legal matters for decades.
In this podcast, they share details of some well-known legal issues the Academy has faced, exploring the uniquely important intellectual property issues and, more generally, the fundamental problems the Academy faces since motion pictures are increasingly viewed and premiered on television as opposed to in theaters.
