“Ambush
Marketing: Criminal Offence or Free Enterprise?”
|
|
Luisa Leone
- Hewitsons

The arguments in
favour of banning ambush marketing are often aired to justify the often
draconian legislation introduced to protect major sporting events from
ambushers. This presentation will air the various arguments against
such legislative bans, its central theme being that anti-ambush
legislation will benefit neither sport nor the economy. In raising
these arguments, the presentation will also explain the phenomenon of
ambush marketing and alternative non-legal methods for combating it, as
well as consider specific legislative developments (e.g., the London
Olympics Games Act 2006).
