Last month, Berklee College of Music<\/a> and MIDEM<\/a> — in association with the Berkman Center for Internet & Society<\/a> and Harvard Business School<\/a> — put on a conference called Rethink Music<\/a>.\u00a0 The conference addressed issues relating to “Creativity, Commerce, and Policy in the 21st Century,” and it brought together a wide range of stakeholders to “engage in critical dialogue examining the business and rights challenges facing the music industry in the digital era” and “formulate ideas for the creation and distribution of new music and other creative works.”<\/p>\n

The Cyberlaw Clinic played an active role in the event.\u00a0 Spring 2011 Clinic student Adam Gottesfeld worked with Berkman Center Research Assistant Joey Seiler and Cyberlaw Clinic Assistant Director Christopher Bavitz to assemble the Berkman Center’s “Rethinking Music<\/a>” briefing book, which conference attendees received.\u00a0 Gottesfeld, Seiler, and Bavitz prepared the Center’s framing paper<\/a>, which introduced the book and teed up a number of important issues addressed during the conference.\u00a0 Clinic student Cristina Fernandez worked with WGBH<\/a>‘s Deputy General Counsel, Jay Fialkov, on another piece included in the book, “Music Rights Clearances and Public Media<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Working with the Berkman Center’s Program Coordinator, Amar Ashar, Bavitz helped to manage Berkman’s overall role in the event.\u00a0 The Berkman team oversaw an academic call for papers<\/a> that resulted in the selection of an article by Mary LaFrance<\/a> of UNLV’s William S. Boyd School of Law<\/a>.\u00a0 LaFrance’s article, which concerns public performance rights in sound recordings, will be published in the Harvard Journal of Sports & Entertainment Law<\/a>.\u00a0 Bavitz also joined Berklee’s Allen Bargfrede<\/a> in an interview with WBUR<\/a> about the event and the state of the music industry.<\/p>\n

Harvard Law School’s website published an overview of the conference<\/a>, and the Berkman Center offered its own roundup<\/a> of coverage.\u00a0 Livestream<\/a> has several videos<\/a> of panel discussions and presentations at the conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
