Description
In this program, attorney/songwriter Jim Jesse discusses the unique issues faced when representing an organization as a client, particularly one as unique as a musical group. in this case, Jesse uses The Beatles and Rolling Stones as examples. Picture yourself as General Counsel for the two biggest bands in the world. And there's plenty of overlap between the two bands.
Jesse uses specific fact patterns from the later portions of The Beatles' career and overlapping portions of The Rolling Stones' career to illustrate these principles, including copyright infringement, as well as:
- Ethical Issues in George Harrison My Sweet Lord Case (The Featured Case) / Breach of Fiduciary Duty / Conflict of Interest – MRPC 1.7, 2.1
- Ethical Issues Regarding Band/Organization Dissolution – MRPC 1.13, 1.14
- Ethical Issues and Conflict of Interest in Representing Competing Interests in a Group – MRPC 1.7, 2.1
This is the third installment of Jesse's Intellectual Property/Copyright series exploring issues lawyers may encounter when representing individual musical artists and bands. While the educational content of each installment stands alone, there are added benefits to attending all three.
