On March 23rd McGill University’s Centre for Intellectual Property Policy and the Schulich School of Music are co-hosting an exceptional one-day copyright conference entitled “Musical Myopia, Digital Dystopia: New Media and Copyright Reform”. The workshop will feature panel discussions between top thinkers, policy-makers, representatives from the media industry and artists. The workshop will look at how we regulate digital media, DRM (digital rights management) and the challenges for all parties involved.

Should Canada regulate digital content with technological protection measures or should alternatives be explored? What can we learn from the U.S. experience? What do creators think? What do owners think? Where is Canadian law headed?

Hear thoughts directly from the most influential people involved, including Professor Terry Fisher from Harvard (founder of Noank Media), Bruce Lehman (drafter of the U.S. DMCA), Professor Michael Geist from the University of Ottawa, legendary producer Sandy Pearlman, Canadian political representatives and artists.
