Crowdfunding for Theatre and Film under the Jumpstart Out Business
Startups (JOBS) Act of 2012 (2.0
credits in Professional Practice)
Raising money in this
stagnant economy has been a daunting task for experienced theatrical and
film producers, particularly when complying with SEC rules and
regulations. The JOBS Act aims to alleviate such restrictions by
expanding solicitation options for parties capitalizing a variety of
commercial live stage productions and film projects. The panelists will
include theatre and film producers discussing fundraising options,
together with veteran attorneys presenting the financing hurdles in such
strategies, and exploring how the JOBS Act may lighten theburden imposed
by the SEC.
New Business Models in Music and
Media (2 credits in
Professional Practice)
Changes in technology have irrevocably altered the legal issues and
business models in music and media, and more changes are ahead. The
growth of broadband in both the online and mobile spaces, coupled with
an ongoing proliferation of new digital services and devices, presents
both opportunities and challenges for music and media businesses,
musicians, and the lawyers who represent them all. Copyright and other
laws still struggles to adapt, resulting in a constant stream of novel
litigation and proposed legislation. Come join us for an informative and
entertaining discussion of cutting edge legal and business issues
concerning music and media business models, such as those involving
access versus ownership, sale versus licensing, subscription versus
advertising, streaming versus downloading, interactive versus
non-interactive, statutory licenses versus direct licenses, and
more.
Under New York’s MCLE rule, this program has been approved for a
total of 4.0 MCLE credit hours in the areas of professional
practice. This program is not transitional and does not qualify for
credit for newly admitted attorneys because it is not a basic practical
skills program.
Meeting 1:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Reception 5:45 p.m.
Offsite: Warwick New York Hotel
