In addition, activities of the audiovisual industry fall within the scope of specific laws for audiovisual media and under generally applicable rules. The continuous development of information technology and the globalisation of media market increase the complexity of the legal issues even further.The Legal Guide to Audiovisual Media in Europe aims to clarify and to contextualise the different legal norms applicable to broadcasting, film, telecommunications, and the Global Information Society in Europe.
