  • Focusing on Issues In Artist/Label 360-Degree Deals

    One could argue that the concept of the '360-degree deal' harkens back to the record business of the 1950s and 1960s. Then, labels would commonly provide integrated A&R, publishing, management and promotional services to their artists, as well as put them out on tours with their label mates. But today's 360 deals are substantially different. Generally, a 360 deal has a label participating in revenue streams outside of its traditional business of manufacturing and distributing recordings.

  • Joint-and-Several Allocation and Policy Provisions Governing the Stacking of Limits

    The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has adopted a 'multiple trigger' approach, whereby, under primary insurance policies obligating the insurer to 'pay on behalf of the Insured all sums which the Insured shall become legally obligated to pay,' all stages of the disease process, from initial exposure through incapacitation, are deemed to be 'bodily injury' triggering coverage under all primary policies on the risk during the entire period in which the disease evolved.

  • Effectively Mitigating The Cost of Data Back-Up

    As any business grows, so does the volume of data that its IT staff must back-up and store. Storing back-up data off-site is critical and becomes particularly important when a crisis occurs and access to on-site data back-up is impossible. There is no benefit to creating a back-up file of valuable data if this information is not transferred via a secure method and stored in an off-site data storage center with foolproof protection. And with the increase in data that requires storage, off-site storage facilities are in even more demand.
