A R T I C L E:
Songwriters, music publishers, and holders of intellectual property are invited to attend the California Copyright Conference presentation “Music Rights from a Global Perspective” on the evening of Wednesday, April 13 in Sherman Oaks (Los Angeles).
“This is an event where everyone in the music industry can get a fresh look at the latest news from some of the most influential international music executives,” states Teri Nelson Carpenter, President of Reel Muzik Werks and two-term past President of the CCC.
With the ongoing upheaval of many aspects of the music industry, this examination of foreign markets comes at an opportune time. “While the domestic music market continues to struggle,” notes CCC board member Eric Palmquist of Disney, “copyright owners have become increasingly interested in the opportunities that exist overseas.”
Speaking from his office, CCC President Shawn LeMone noted that “Foreign performance royalties have been a steady source of growth as the industry continues to struggle in other areas.” LeMone, who is VP of Film & TV at ASCAP, added that “Anyone with a financial stake in music should be interested in hearing what this impressive array of international panelists has to say.”
Moderating the presentation will be Carpenter, who says she is looking forward to hearing inside information regarding the territories represented by each panelist as well as hearing their perspective on global music rights in the digital age. “We will discuss foreign royalties, copyright issues, emerging music markets and other relevant topics,” says Carpenter. Following the panel will be a question-and-answer session.
Panelists on the program include:
* Tomas Ericsson, Deputy CEO of STIM (Sweden/Scandinavia);
* Laurence Bony, Director of International Department for SACEM (France);
* C. Paul Spurgeon, VP Legal Services & General Counsel for SOCAN (Canada);
* Teresa Alfonso, SGAE Board of directors (Digital branch of SGAE) and Emeritus Counselor, International SGAE Committee for International Affairs; VP, Spanish Music Publishers Association in charge of International affairs; Owner, Teddysound Music (Spain);
* Cecile Bernier, Head of Copyright & Royalties, Une Musique/TF1 (France).
