The Full Impact of Digital Media: Shifts of Control and the Future of Music The Hastings Communication and Entertainment Law Journal *Thursday, February 28th 2008* 3:15-5:00pm Panel followed by Reception with Live Music
location: Louis B. Mayer Lounge at U.C. Hastings Law School 198 McAllister St., San Francisco
The explosion of digital media continues to generate unprecedented issues of control, creating a tug-of-war between consumers, content owners, distributors, and everyone else in-between. The tumult can be traced to an attack on established business paradigms. The most conspicuously uprooted paradigm is the music industry, which was once dominated by a few giant conglomerates. The old model allowed them to control music’s distribution. However, digital media gives today’s consumers the ability to choose precisely when, where, and how we get music - the manifestation of a drastic shift in control. In this symposium, practicing digital media attorneys from the Bay Area will explore the latest legal, licensing and entrepreneurial issues driving the worlds of music and digital media.
