With the ever-changing and rapid advancement of IT, Social Media, and online media services such as iTunes and Cloud Management to name but a few, the Media and Entertainment Industry is increasingly becoming exposed to higher risks of litigation. Whether companies and individuals are exposed to the risks of their data and systems being hacked, or lost via a third party accessing their systems or via a cloud computer provider, there are all sorts of commercial connotations that can lead to financial loss and or invasion of rights and privacy.
