Recent years have seen an upswing in high profile music infringement cases. Proving infringement in these cases hinges upon an analysis of, among other things, the copying and use of protected elements within a song.  A key issue in recent cases focuses on the underlying basis for such analysis; specifically, the use of sound recordings and deposit copies as evidence for the purpose of proving substantial similarity between two musical compositions. This webinar will explore this crucial issue, focusing on important key infringement cases including Structured Asset Sales v. Sheeran and Skidmore v. Led Zeppelin.

Tune in and focus on the issues in recent music infringement cases (eg Ed Sheeran) of using sound recordings or actual sheet music deposits in proving substantial similarity.
