Duane Morris Partner Vanessa Hew to Speak at the Copyright and Technology 2011 Conference
November 30, 2011 | New York City
| Manhattan Penthouse
Duane Morris partner Vanessa C. Hew will be on a panel at the Copyright and Technology 2011 Conference on Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Ms. Hew will be discussing the topic of "New Music Services Push the Legal Envelope" from 3:30 p.m. to 4:45 p.m.
New digital music services have launched that test the limits of copyright law. Several features are at issue, including ”scan and match” to let users store their music in the cloud without actually uploading the files, ”cloud sync” of users’ music onto all of their devices, and features that facilitate copying of possibly illegal files into users’ own online collections. At the same time, music companies want service providers to be more proactive in keeping unauthorized music off their services. What are the legal and licensing issues behind these features, and where are the issues likely to come out?
