​​

1pm: “Toe 2 Toe”: The 2023-2024 Music Litigation “Paper Chase”: Even in the shadow of dozens of high-profile AI copyright lawsuits, music litigators have had a busy year. To be sure, one of the many new music copyright cases was brought by music publishers against AI company Anthropic. But many other cases have been winding their way through the federal courts, including fights over hip-hop lyrics; sampling and soundalikes; copyright grant termination; infringements on social media; and a potentially watershed case involving the embattled statute of limitations “discovery rule”. This panel will review the greatest hits of music copyright litigation over the last 12-18 months and provide updates on areas of the law that are critical to labels, publishers, and artists alike.

Moderator: Scott Sholder, Partner, Cowan, DeBaets, Abrahams & Sheppard LLP

Panelists:

2pm: Catalog Shopping 2024: The market for music catalogs continues to thrive, with continuing sales directly from creators as well as a very active trade in secondary sales (portfolios of acquired catalogs).  This panel will discuss trends and developments in the catalog market, including deal structures, pricing trends, secondary sales and financing.
