Entertainment, culture, sports and esports

Sports events, cultural shows, and entertainments are long known to the mankind.  Since ancient times, people are keen to get positive emotions from leisure activity. For this purposes, various cultural and sports events are visited. Many companies render services related to organization and holding of such events, aspiring to satisfy the interest of the consumers, thus becoming part of the entertainment, sports and culture industry. Such activities are very different and specific.

Despite, the seemingly simple nature of this enterprise, many difficulties and “surprises” await participants of this business. Many of these difficulties are linked to the legal norms in this field. Laws regulate every organization without exception from organizations for base-jumping to the organizations who deal with large entertaining events for example football matches.

As such, the Criminal Law Act of the Russian Federation establishes criminal liability for rendering entertainment services which don’t meet the safety requirements. That is why, while rendering such services, one should be careful to not neglect laws or statutes. This rule includes those cases; where service does not require special safety measures at the first glance.

As such, last year, in one of the cities of regional importance in Russia, animator accidentally injured one of the quest participant’s arms with the chainsaw. Obviously, a criminal case was initiated.  Yearly, there are various accidents alike happening in the entertainment industry. Same applies to the tourist and extreme services.

In addition to the criminal liability, defendants may also be liable in Public Law.  For example, special legal regulations were attributed to the World Cup FIFA 2018, which was held in Russia. Also, special legal regulations were attributed to other sports events, for example under Federal Law from 04.12.2007 N329-FL “On sports and physical culture in the Russian Federation”. 

Despite the small number of legal sources regulating the issues in entertainment, sports and culture industries, it cannot be said that enterprises do not need competent legal advice. Largely, the complexity is caused by the lack or complete absence of judicial practice on many legal issues in the mentioned field, as well as, the trouble of searching for specialists in these areas of law.

Lack of judicial practice may be compensated only by the good understanding of basic principles of Law and also an understanding of the current “moods” of law-making authority.
