The last year has seen many exciting copyright and entertainment developments in the litigation arena. Five experienced panelists who have litigated extensively in the music industry will examine some of the high profile cases (e.g., the “Stairway to Heaven” case, the proceedings by the NMPA before the Copyright Royalty Board, etc.), both for their legal impact and to highlight the parties' litigation strategies. From infringement issues, developments in the "fair use" defense in music sampling cases, to the setting of industry-wide rates for music streaming, the panel will also look at the practical effects and implications of these cases and trends for the industry going forward.
