The Archive for Media Law and Media Studies (abbreviated: UFITA ) is a specialist journal on copyright and media law as well as communication and media studies . It is the conceptually realigned successor to the archive for copyright and media law ( ISSN 1424-4276 ) , which was set up until 2016, most recently under the editorial management of Manfred Rehbinder . It will appear for the first time in 2018.  

Development and alignment by 2016

The magazine was founded in 1928 as the “Archive for Copyright, Film and Theater Law” and was initially published by Springer Verlag in Berlin . This explains the abbreviation “UFITA”, which later no longer corresponded with the title of the magazine. Initially, the magazine was published by Ernst Heymann , Otto Opet , Albrecht Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Julius Magnus , among others . The editing was in the hands of Paul Tuesday , Walter Siegel and Willy Hoffmann , who was the only editor left after the National Socialists seized power and the Jewish lawyers were dismissed. After the death of Willy Hoffmann in 1942, Georg Roeber took over the editing. With the 17th volume (1944) the publication was initially discontinued.

From 1954 the magazine was continued under the aegis of Georg Roeber and, after his death, by Manfred Rehbinder in the Stämpfli publishing house in Bern . From the 18th volume onwards, it appeared under the title “Archive for Copyright, Film, Radio and Theater Law” in a more compact A5 format . In 2000 the name was changed to “Archive for Copyright and Media Law”.

Many well-known scientists have published in the UFITA sporadically or more frequently, for example Eugen Ulmer , Bruno Marwitz , Alexander Elster , Alfred Baum , Hans-Otto de Boor , Wenzel Goldbaum , Heinrich Hubmann , Adolf Dietz , Reto M. Hilty , Ulrich Loewenheim , Haimo Schack and Manfred Rehbinder. The UFITA regularly contained longer papers and, especially in the younger years, a large number of reviews in each of the roughly three volumes per year . She also documented developments in national and international legislation in copyright and media law. Older contributions were also reprinted irregularly, such as writings by Josef Kohler or Julius Eduard Hitzig , as well as, since 2009, articles that had originally appeared in the journal Intellectual Property , which is affiliated with UFITA via Paul Tuesday . Unlike in previous years, no court judgments have been printed for some time.

A register of volumes 101–2016 / II (following on from the general register for volumes 1–100 published in 1989) was published in 2017.

Realignment from 2018

In volume 2016 / II, it was initially announced, with reference to the change in the management of the publishing Institute for Copyright and Media Law in Munich, that the publication of the magazine with this volume would be discontinued. However, the institute later announced that it wanted to continue the journal with a stronger focus on media law and science. From 2018 it will now be continued by Nomos Verlag , Baden-Baden. The subject should be "fundamental issues and current developments in copyright and media law studies with their legal-philosophical, legal-historical, methodological and economic foundations". The UFITA should also be opened for interdisciplinary discussions and also enable publications from media and communication studies.

UFITA is now jointly supported by the Institute for Copyright and Media Law (Munich) and the Institute for European Media Law (Saarbrücken). The editors are Nadine Klass (Director Institute for Copyright and Media Law) and Mark D. Cole (Director Institute for European Media Law).

Series of publications

UFITA also has a series of publications in which primarily dissertations on copyright are published and which are published today by Manfred Rehbinder and the Institute for Copyright and Media Law. The series is published by Nomos Verlag and already comprises more than 280 volumes.
