Fair Compensation or a Pandora’s Box? Pre-1972 Sound Recordings & Streaming Radio

Join the New York chapter for a luncheon program on common law copyright and pre-1972 sound recordings.  The program will focus on the legal framework and issues involved in the recent lawsuits involving royalties for webcasting of pre-1972 sound recordings. After providing a background of the key issues, the panel will discuss the potential practical impacts of affirmance or reversal of the recent Flo & Eddie decision, as well as whether the state-based issue of common law copyright for pre-1972 recordings is a matter that should be resolved at the federal level.
