1. New Technology and the Music
Industry
From the days of the
first phonograph to the advent of the mp3 file, technology has played a role in
changing how artists create, market and distribute music. This panel will look
at how some of the latest technology is changing the way we conceive music and
asks whether artists, who can now reach their fans directly through the advent
of social media sites, have any need for major labels at all.

2. - Music Copyrights and Royalties
Perhaps
the most confusing issue facing academic broadcasters over the last few years
has been royalties for music streaming. Get the latest on this sensitive and
confusing subject. This session separates myth from fact in this ongoing
battle. What do we owe? When do we owe it? Who should we pay? What are we
likely to pay in the future? Get answers to these questions and more.

1. Reaching the Goal – Are We There Yet?
Live touring and the music festivals are back for young artists
and are now an integral part of a career, again. This panel will ask how young
bands (Arcade Fire, Mumford and Sons, the Black Keys), who now have the
potential to tour for years to come, change the way we think about festival
appearances and sustaining a touring career. This panel will also look
specifically at how music festivals, whether it be
Woodstock, Coachella or CHAMPSFEST, have captured the imagination of artists
and fans from generation to generation.
