Program Description

Against the backdrop of the recent strike by members of the Writers Guild of America against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers over residuals for “new media,” panelists will explore how today’s media creates unprecedented monetization opportunities. Such opportunities include compensation for delivery channels in­cluding Internet downloads, podcasts, streaming, smart phone programming, straight-to-Internet content, and other on-demand online distribution methods, along with cable and satellite video on-demand offerings. These industry experts will consider how the exploitation of new media impacts intellectual property licensing and business relationships, whether in the world of music, movie, publishing, or art. The panelists will also uncover where traps for the unwary practitioner lie.
