    SANTA MONICA, Calif. --

    Attorneys Jeffrey A. Greenbaum and Brian G. Murphy of Frankfurt Kurnit will lead an informative discussion about recent advertising law developments that every advertising lawyer and business affairs team should know about for 2018. The session, titled “A Dozen Advertising Law Tips for 2018,” is slated for Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica on Wednesday, January 31.

    2018 promises to be yet another year filled with rapid changes in advertising law and enforcement that will have a great impact on the way advertising lawyers and business affairs teams do their jobs. With new commissioners on the horizon at the Federal Trade Commission, a new low budget digital waiver under the SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contract, new challenges involving transparency in contracting, and new cases involving infringement claims, there’s much to talk about.

    Among the topics, questions to be addressed, are:

    • What are the big issues that the FTC will be looking at in 2018?
    • What’s new with influencers?
    • What are best practices for disclosures in social media?
    • What impact do recent music infringement cases (including the infamous “Blurred Lines” case) have on the way we produce original music for commercials?
    • How do I reference pop culture in social media without getting sued?
    • What are the key things to watch out for when doing a media buy that includes custom content production?
    • When does comparative advertising cross the line?
    • How do I effectively use the low budget and other SAG-AFTRA waivers?
    • What do I need to know about allocations and SAG-AFTRA audits?
    • How do I effectively run a social media contest?

    Theodor Pištěk, Czech Oscar-winning costume designer, dies at 93

    Theodor Pištěk, a Czech costume and stage designer and painter who won an Academy Award for his work on the 1984 film "Amadeus," has died. He was 93.

    His death was announced on Thursday by the town of Mukařov, just east of Prague, where he lived and was confirmed by his family to the local CTK news agency. They said he died on Wednesday but gave no other details.

    Pištěk's costumes appeared in the films of director František Vláčil from the end of 1950s, including "Marketa Lazarová" and "The Valley of the Bees," but his most famous work appears in the movies by late Czech-born director Milos Forman.

    The two became friends during their mandatory military service in communist Czechoslovakia.

    Forman ended up settling in the United States following the 1968 Soviet led invasion of Czechoslovakia, and while Pištěk remained in Czechoslovakia, they two nonetheless cooperated on films.

    Pištěk won an Academy Award for best costume design in multiple-Oscar winner "Amadeus," which was filmed in Czechoslovakia.

    As he accepted the award in 1985, he called it "the biggest and happiest day of my film career."

    Pištěk was also nominated for an Academy award for Forman's 1989 movie "Valmont." He won the the French Cesar award for that film.

    Pištěk and Forman also worked together on "The People vs. Larry Flynt."

    Pištěk was born on Oct 25, 1932, in Prague to parents who were both actors. He graduated from Prague's Academy of Fine Arts in 1958. Until the middle of the 1970s, Pištěk was also involved in motor racing as a driver and cars became a subject of paintings he made that were displayed in the United States and elsewhere.

    After the 1989 Velvet Revolution led by late Vaclav Havel that ousted... Read More
