The first legal arena most writers learn about is probably copyright, or intellectual property (IP). However, there are many other issues to be aware of, including defamation, immorality, the right to privacy, and publicity rights.
Is there a collective term for all the legal issues relating to media other than IP? One reason I'm asking is because it's easy to search for an attorney that specializes in IP, but finding an attorney who covers all the other issues I listed above is very difficult. Does one search for a defamation attorney, a separate publicity rights attorney, etc.?
