The New Pipeline
Over the last few years, the internet has spawned a number of innovative business models for the distribution of music that have flourished, even in the face of litigation, consolidation, and the desertion of venture capital funds. What is the shape of this new pipeline, and how are they affecting the traditional pipelines of retail and promotion?

The Global Exchange:
International Perspectives on Digital Issues
The internet is porous and crosses international borders. How will individual countries enforce national copyright laws in such an environment? How are other countries approaching questions of encryption, copyright, piracy, and antitrust issues? Are there benefits from building these structures together and, if so, what is the best way to begin the process?

Moderator: Jim Griffin, CEO, Cherry Lane Digital
Dagfinn Bach, Artspages.org

Dick Huey, Toolshed Inc. and
New Media consultant to AIM
Peter Jenner, Chairman, AURA
Jon Kertzer, Director, Smithsonian Global Sound
Brian Robertson, President, Canadian Recording Industry Association

Lunch break

The Copyright Bargain
Have recent increases in copyright protection – encryption and watermarking – served their intended purpose of guarding the value of copyrighted material? If so, how have attempts to protect property impacted the other side of the copyright balance – the public domain?

Moderator: Jessica Litman, Professor of Law, Wayne State University
Jon Baumgarten, Attorney, Proskauer Rose LLP
David Bollier, Co-Founder, Public Knowledge
Adam Eisgrau, Adjunct Professor, Communication, Culture and Technology, Georgetown University
Bruce Lehman, International Intellectual Property Institute
Michael Tiemann, CTO, Red Hat

New Models
Can musicians who have influenced how we think about and enjoy music also have an impact on new business models? A panel of visionary musicians talks through strategies that artists can use to create and connect in a world of diametrical opposites, exploring how artists can find a space to thrive between the constraint of extreme corporate consolidation and the expansion of a boundless digital world.

Moderator: Jenny Toomey, FMC

A More Perfect Union
There are managers, lawyers, unions, websites, and listservs all of which are designed to educate musicians and protect the rights of creators, and yet many artists still feel underrepresented. Do artists need further representation? If so, what is the best way to begin the process? Who should represent them and how? How will traditional collective bargaining models adopt to meet future challenges?
