IAEL at DIGITAL MIDEM 2020
We are delighted to announce the International Association of Entertainment Lawyers (IAEL) events at this year’s Digital Midem with a terrific collection of specialist speakers from around the world.
On Wednesday 3rd June at 4pm to 5.30pm (CET) the IAEL will host its annual Legal Update For Entertainment & Technology. Once again, legal and sector experts will provide succinct reports on those key developments which have had a major impact on the industry this year, along with what we can be likely to expect in the next twelve months. As usual, the session will cover both media and entertainment issues as well as related technology sector developments. This year topics obviously include the impact of and reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic, but also a full range of other newsworthy issues including: the Kraftwerk sampling case; collecting society tariffs for dance events; Skidmore v. Led Zeppelin; the Universal fire litigation; Tiktok (Douyin) v. Huopai (Baidu) and an update on the Mechanical Licensing Collective.
The Update will be followed immediately on Wednesday by the IAEL Masterclass from 5.30pm to 6.30pm (CET) which will take its usual deeper dive into one particular hot topic. Entitled Did You Steal My Song? An International Perspective this year the Masterclass will provide a timely exploration of the manner in which courts across the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union assess whether a musical work infringes upon an earlier work, including discussions of the procedures followed, the legal doctrines considered, the role of experts and the potential relief and remedies available.
Then, on Thursday 4th June at 4pm to 5.30pm (CET), the IAEL will host the IAEL Main Seminar which this year takes the theme of Nationalism v Globalism. Bringing you exclusive sneak peeks from the IAEL’s 2020-21 Book on the same topic, there will be individual presentations on Brexit and the entertainment industry, attempts at regulating fake news online, the environmental impacts of recorded music; and a panel discussion on data protection and the global effects of the European Union’s GDPR on media and entertainment; with a live Question & Answer to followThis year in association with DLA Piper US we are pleased to offer Continuing Legal Education credits to US licensed attorneys who attend the sessions.
