To coincide with its participation in the International Music Market (MIDEM) 2007 event, CISAC (the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers) this week announced its Copyright Summit, an international forum at which players from the cultural and ICT sectors are invited to debate the future of copyright.
It will be held from 30-31 May 2007 in Brussels.
According to CISAC:
"The entertainment industry is currently in a state of extreme upheaval due to digitised works and their distribution over new media platforms. The different rights-owners will be forced to deal with the consequences of such developments, with creators directly in the line of fire."
"To accompany the sophisticated reflection that needs to be given to such changes, CISAC is inviting all those directly involved in copyright issues to express their views during its "Copyright Summit": creators and authors' societies, as well as music publishers and record companies, audiovisual producers and broadcasters, telecommunications operators and content service providers, hardware manufacturers and consumers, and also legal experts and key political decision-makers, both in Europe and all over the world."
The main topics that will be addressed during the summit include:
Participating speakers will include music legend Charles Aznavour; Michael Apted, film director and President of the Directors Guild of America; Ben Verwaayen, Chief Executive of British Telecom; Prof. Lawrence Lessig, Founder of Creative Commons; Billy Bragg, Bristish singer-songwriter; Glen Ballard, American producer and songwriter; Roger Faxon, President of EMI Music Publishing; Rich Lappenbusch, Director of Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Division; Jean-François Cécillon, Chairman/CEO Continental Europe of EMI Music; Jean Reveillon, General Secretary of EBU; Tim Renner, Founder and CEO of Motor FM.
