Entertainment Law Society Run Conference Proposal Submitted By
Entertainment Law Society Symposium Proposal Entertainment Law Society Run Conference Proposal Submitted by: Entertainment Law Society (ELS) John Bisset and Yashina Burns Potential Faculty Advisors: Henry Weinstein Conference Topic and Importance: Bridging Troubled Waters: Streaming, Downloading, and the Entertainment Industry’s Transition into the Digital Age Streaming and downloading represent advents of the Digital Age that have fundamentally changed the way that much of the world receives media in all of its forms. Whereas media was once restricted to analog formats and the airwaves, the digital distribution of media has now become ubiquitous. The Internet has given the public unprecedented access to digital information, and it has forced the entertainment industry to come to terms with the reality that it no longer retains the control over the distribution of its wares it once did. While illegal acquisitions of movies, games, TV shows, and music remain rampant, the entertainment industry is adapting to the newfound market demand for immediate access to the newest entertainment. A host of legal issues continue to arise as the entertainment world scrambles to adapt and thrive in a world where keeping content secure is nearly impossible, and bandwidth is a commodity. This symposium is an opportunity to examine the many issues revolving around downloading and streaming, the way they have changed the way we consume and produce entertainment, and how the entertainment industry has been forced to transform in response. Free options such as YouTube and SoundCloud are creative playgrounds for communities of amateur musicians and filmmakers, allowing their material reach further than ever before. However, users Entertainment Law Society Symposium Proposal also exploit inherent difficulty of policing such massive websites by uploading copyrighted material without permission.

FOX Sports and Nielsen Study, “The 5Th Network,” Finds Regional Sports Networks Are Most Essential Cable Channels to Sports Fans
For Immediate Release December 14, 2016 FOX Sports and Nielsen Study, “The 5th Network,” Finds Regional Sports Networks Are Most Essential Cable Channels to Sports Fans Research commissioned from Nielsen highlights fan preference for RSNs LOS ANGELES – FOX Sports today released the results of “The 5th Network: Regional Sports Network Passion Index,” a Nielsen Media Analytics Primary Research study finding that sports fans rate regional sports networks (RSNs) as their most essential non-broadcast channels. Custom research by Nielsen commissioned by FOX Sports looked at more than 1,500 pay TV subscribers around the country who identify as sports fans, and found that on average respondents rate their RSNs as the fifth most essential channel in their entire television packages, ranking only behind the four broadcast networks. Respondents ranked RSNs as more essential than all cable channels. In certain geographical regions, sports fans ranked their RSNs as the most essential networks. In St. Louis, which receives FOX Sports Midwest, viewers rated their local RSN as more essential than any other channel, including the broadcast networks. In Detroit, home of FOX Sports Detroit, viewers rank their RSN as the second most essential network. FOX Sports Regional Networks President Jeff Krolik said: “We have long known that our RSNs are akin to the fifth broadcast network in their markets in terms of ratings, and Nielsen’s research confirms the remarkable importance of these networks to viewers. Local sports are tribal, and RSNs inspire the same loyalty and connection as the hometown teams they bring to fans.” Findings from Nielsen’s research are supported by the ratings received by RSNs across the country.

Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY SIGNS AMENDED ACQUISITION AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY FOX, INC., FOR $71.3 BILLION IN CASH AND STOCK New $38-per-share acquisition gives 21st Century Fox shareholders option to elect cash or stock in the combined entity BURBANK, Calif., June 20, 2018—The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) today announced that it has signed an amended acquisition agreement with Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. (“21st Century Fox” —NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX), for $38 per share in cash and stock. Disney will acquire 21st Century Fox immediately following the spin-off of the businesses comprising “New Fox” as previously announced. Under the amended agreement, 21st Century Fox shareholders may elect to receive, for each share of 21st Century Fox common stock, $38 in either cash or shares of Disney common stock (subject to adjustment for certain tax liabilities as described in the original acquisition announcement). The overall mix of consideration paid to 21st Century Fox shareholders will be approximately 50% cash and 50% stock. The stock consideration is subject to a collar (described below under ‘Transaction Details’) and is expected to be tax-free to 21st Century Fox shareholders. The 21st Century Fox businesses to be acquired by Disney remain the same as under the original agreement. Since the original agreement was announced, the intrinsic value of these assets has increased, notably due to tax reform and operating improvements. “The acquisition of 21st Century Fox will bring significant financial value to the shareholders of both companies, and after six months of integration planning we’re even more enthusiastic and confident in the strategic fit of the assets and the talent at Fox,” said Robert A.
