In March 2014, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, acting as a rate court, attempted to check anticompetitive behavior by and between the nations’ major music publishing companies by issuing an order that arguably contravenes federal copyright law. It did so following those publishing companies’ unprecedented attempt to withdraw their digital copyrights from ASCAP, the collective rights organization charged with the collection and administration of public performance royalties.  Not only does this circumvention of ASCAP challenge the traditional justifications for collective rights management, it also introduces two significant drawbacks – adverse selection and anticompetitive behavior – and offers a unique opportunity to reconsider competition policy in copyright.

Cost:
$35 for IP Section Members
$45 for the general public
