The Ethics of Innovation

Rapid technological innovations have presented musicians and consumers with an exciting array of new ways to purchase, access or listen to music. However, many of these technologies present challenges to existing copyright, trademark and patent law. How do attorneys balance new technologies and current laws? In a post-Grokster world, how do attorneys counsel clients who have a business model or technology that could be used to infringe copyrights? What are innovators’ experiences navigating these waters, and what do they need from attorneys?
