On Wednesday (March 19), I will be attending the conference “Musicians, fans and online copyright” at the London School of Economics, organized in collaboration with the Oxford Internet Institute. You can still register for free.

Details of the  “Musicians, fans and online copyright” conference @ the Oxford Internet Institute

 

Is home downloading killing music? Should Internet Service Providers monitor customers to try and spot copyright infringement, and disconnect downloaders? Do musicians need new laws to benefit from the opportunities of the Internet?
