“This unique event goes way beyond the basics, to cover the infrastructure of the music industry itself — its basis in copyright law and legislation, the organizations that have been established to make the business function, and the leaders who see the large-scale perspective and are moving the industry forward,” said, Corey Field, the program’s moderator. “Just a quick look at the participants shows how broad, from recording to licensing, and how high-level the information will be,” added Field, a copyright and entertainment attorney and music industry expert at Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, LLP.
