THE CAMPAIGNING ISSUE
2. MUSICTANK LOUNGE - A New Report
CANADIAN MUSIC WEEK - GLOBAL FORUM
Earlier this year, MusicTank was fortunate enough to be asked to assist with moderating round table discussions taking place at Canadian Music Week, March 2007. This ambitious and successful forum witnessed a select group of 120 participants from the global music industry brainstorm, debate and present fresh thinking on two issues of critical importance to theglobal music industry:
- Fair Use And The Global Marketplace
- Monetising Tomorrow's Digital Reality
Participants were divided into 15 roundtables, each facilitated by a leading thinker from academia, a research institution, a policy think tank or a related organization. Each table had approximately one hour to discuss Fair Use, after which participants were shifted to a different table for discussions on Monetization. Scribes were present at each table to note key areas of debate.
Participants completed two surveys, one at the conclusion of Fair Use and one at the conclusion of Monetisation.
The Global Forum Report - the resulting report based on notes from the round table sessions and surveys - is now freely available on the MusicTank website:
The report was compiled and written by Richard Cavanagh (Connectus Consulting Inc - a leading Canadian music industry analyst and researcher).
