CMU Insights: Copyright webinars on artist rights, piracy and US copyright law
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 9 March 2021
A brand new series of CMU Insights webinars kicks off next week, delving a little deeper into music copyright topics. This series builds on our previous music copyright series, although each webinar also works as a standalone session.
The three webinars in this series are as follows…
THE RIGHTS OF SONGWRITERS AND PERFORMERS
Tuesday 16 Mar 2021 | 2.30pm
Artists and songwriters often assign the copyrights they create to business partners: labels, publishers and collecting societies. But music-makers have rights over their music even when they no longer own the copyright. What are those and how do they work? Find out in this webinar.
THE EVOLUTION OF MUSIC PIRACY
Tuesday 23 Mar 2021 | 2.30pm
As the legitimate digital music market has evolved so has online music piracy. This webinar looks at the piracy challenge over the last 20 years, how the music industry has sought to tackle the problem, and which anti-piracy tactics actually work today.
WHY US COPYRIGHT LAW IS WEIRD (FROM A EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE!)
Tuesday 30 Mar 2021 | 2.30pm
While there are some basic principles that join up all the copyright systems around the world, there are also some key differences from country to country. And with American copyright law, some things are just plain weird. This webinar gives you a guide to five significant ways in which copyright in the US is different to the UK and Continental Europe.
You can book into all three sessions for just £60 here.
