In this program, you will hear from counsel at the forefront of music cases on both sides of the pond. Panelists include those who successfully represented Ed Sheeran in this year's landmark "Shape of You" case at the English High Court. Join us as we examine the latest developments and trends in music litigations, and how they may impact legal strategies, risk assessments, enforcement efforts, and deals in today's music space. (Mondo attendees are welcome to attend all CLE panels.)

The litigation landscape in the music industry has taken a tech-heavy turn. We’ve seen legal battles erupt over generative AI platforms’ use of musical compositions, song lyrics, and sound recordings in their models; we’ve seen fights break out between streaming giant Spotify and both the MLC and NMPA over “bundling” and music in podcasts, respectively; and we’ve seen rapper Quavo get hit with a lawsuit for using a sculpture as a backdrop in social media teaser posts. These topics and more will populate an informative and entertaining hour of discussion among an esteemed panel to help you understand what’s happening inside courtrooms around the country and how to keep yourself and your clients outside the judge’s chambers.
