The Future of the Entertainment Industry Is In Your Pocket

MIAMI, Dec. 23, 2017 -- At a recent presentation at St. Thomas Law School in South Florida, veteran Miami Entertainment attorney, Allen Jacobi, speaking to an auditorium of law students, asked, “How many of you own a smartphone?” Of course, every hand went up in the room. He proceeded with, “How many of you have a music application on your smartphone?” Every hand went up again. His last question was, “How many of you have more than one music application on your smartphone?” Once more, every hand went up, with which he stated, “Welcome to the future of the music industry.” But, it goes beyond music. Motion pictures, now through Netflix, games, sporting events and television are all available on mobile apps. In terms of music, global licensing is only available from major publishers in the United States. Regional licensing is only available in each country and is only valid in the country so obtained. Since global licensing is only available in the United States, application developers from all over the world must obtain licenses in the United States, putting U.S attorneys in a unique position. In response to this, the Law Office of Allen Jacobi has developed a speciality in licensing for mobile applications.
