Music Copyright Infringement: Global Perspectives Virtual Conference

Please join us for the Music Copyright Infringement: Global Perspectives Conference. With a focus on how courts adjudicate music copyright infringement disputes in Asia, Europe, and North America, our conference will address access and substantial similarity, fair use, performers’ rights, moral rights, expert testimony, the role of lay listeners, sound sampling, as demonstrated in dispositions of litigated and settled infringement disputes.

Building on work done by the Music Copyright Infringement Resource, this conference brings together academics, practitioners, musicologists, and theorists. This cross-pollination of ideas relating to national copyright regimes and musical expertise promises to spark new insights into adjudicating music infringement disputes, as well as those involving other genres of expression, in the U.S. and overseas.
