Conclusions. ;. 000026816 520__ $$aThis is the first book to focus critically on the legitimacy of legal responses to ambush marketing. It comprehensively examines recent sports mega-events and the special laws which combat ambushing. The approach of the book is novel. It does not blindly accept often-touted truisms regarding the illegitimacy of ambushing. The author argues that the debate concerning the ethics and legality of ambushing should be revisited, and that lawmakers have simply gone too far. This book will likely raise eyebrows in sports business circles, and not all readers will be comfortable with the implications of the author's findings. It makes for an engaging read for anyone interested in sports law and the business of sport, including lawyers, academics, students, sports administrators and sponsorship and marketing practitioners, but especially lawmakers in sports mega-event host nations. 000026816 650_0 $$aCommercial law. 000026816 650_0 $$aSports$$xLaw and legislation. 000026816 650_0 $$aMarketing$$xLaw and legislation. 000026816 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000026816 650_4 $$aProtection and competition 000026816 650_4 $$aCommercial rights 000026816 7102_ $$aT.M.C.
