CMU to provide up to date insights into music rights

News: 25th February 2010 by Louise Dodgson under

The final programme is coming together nicely for the first ever CMU seminar on music rights, which takes place at CMU HQ in Shoreditch on 3 Mar. This will be a lively six hour exploration of the way music rights work in the UK, of issues affecting the industry, and of how such rights can still be monetised in the digital age. It will be headed up by CMU Business Editor Chris Cooke, a leading expert of music rights, who regularly speaks about the industry for other media, including the BBC, CNN and the Associated Press, as well as rambling on about it all here in the CMU Daily.

Chris told CMU: "Despite the increasing importance of the live sector, and the unstoppable rise of piracy, the music industry is still primarily an intellectual property rights business. But given the challenges caused by the internet, music firms needs to find new ways of utilising and monetising their music rights, no longer able to rely on the old fashioned tried and tested models of selling recordings".

He continues: "That means music people need a better understanding of what music rights are, how they work, and how they can be utilised and protected, from both a legal and commercial perspective. Unfortunately this involves talking about IP law a bit, but with our CMU seminar we will make all that stuff very easy to handle, and rather entertaining to discuss. If you plan to still be working in music in five years time, you need to come to this seminar!"

The full day seminar is just £75 plus VAT. A small number of spaces for the 3 Mar seminar are still available, and the whole thing will happen again on 24 Mar. More information and booking forms can be got at www.thecmuwebsite.com/events/musicrights.html
