  • Canadian Idol: a Case Study - the Anatomy of a Successful Reality Format Television Series”
    “Canadian Idol: A Case Study - the Anatomy of a Successful Reality Format Television Series” “Canadian Idol” the number one rated series on Canadian television was the subject of a stimulating panel discussion at a recent event sponsored by the Law Society of Upper Canada. The Entertainment and Advertising and Media Law symposium was held at the Toronto Board of Trade on April 8-9, 2005 and was attended by lawyers from the film, television, music recording, advertising and broadcast industries. A blue chip panel of industry experts including Tracey Pearce, vice-president and general counsel of Bell GlobeMedia Inc., Brenda Pritchard, a partner at Gowling LaFleur Henderson LLP, Stephen Stohn, the founding partner of Stohn Hay Caffazzo Dembroski Richmond LLP and David Zitzerman, the co-chair of the Entertainment Group at Goodmans LLP provided their insights into the development, production, financing and exploitation of the Idol series. Tracey Pearce led off the session by describing how she assembled her “dream team” of lawyers with expertise in advertising (Pritchard), music (Stohn) and film and television (Zitzerman) to tackle the complex legal issues raised by Idol. Pearce described acquiring the format rights from FreemantleMedia and structuring the production with Insight Production Company as the producer and CTV as the broadcaster. In response to the hypothetical query: “who needs a format if it's just a talent show?” Pearce elaborated on the bundles of rights to be considered when acquiring a format, including, for example: the right to use names, logos, trademarks and other intellectual property, the “look and feel” of a series, the music, the structure of a series, episode themes, the right to merchandise, telecast and to distribute the series in all media (including, for example, the Internet, DVDs and CDs) and the right to own copyright in the series.

  • Jamie Gutfreund & "In Living Cover"
    CELEBRITY STAGE PERFORMERS Carmen Corcoz Carmen Corcoz is a singer, songwriter & actress who has an original soulful vibe combined with melodic pop vocals, and beautiful hard-hitting lyrics. A voice & heart of gold. Romanian born singer and songwriter inspires through her meaningful lyrics and universal sound. Drawing influences from the likes of Adele, Rihanna & Bruno Mars, Carmen creates a soulful mixture of rhythm & pop music, securing her place as the next International Mega Star. As a young musician Carmen wondered about the origins of music. Becoming a historian of jazz, soul, blues & classical music, she understood why it was not only important to her, but to all of us. While singing came naturally for Carmen, she found herself firmly rooted in many areas of art. Landing acting roles, dancing professionally, & getting her poetry published at the age of 13, opportunities came knocking at her door. Inspiring through music became a calling for Carmen. In 2011, Carmen released her first EP "INSPIRED" in affiliation with SickKids Foundation. Donating proceeds from song downloads were given to the sick children at the Toronto Hospital in Canada. Carmen is an ambassador for sick kids and a great role model, sticking true to her fans. Her goal is to continue inspiring people through music and reach out to those in need. "I believe art can cure us, a poem, a song, even a picture can change our life."-Carmen Corcoz For more information on Carmen Corcoz, visit www.carmencorcoz.com. The Coppertones The Toronto Police Service Coppertones was formed in 1974. The focus of the group was to give back to the community by representing the Police Service through music by performing at various community events and public venues throughout the city.
