19 JUNE:  BUZZ BUILDING: PODCASTS AND VODCASTS

While words and pictures might have done the trick for your dad's old website, the modern web demands a modern approach.

The latest session in our series concerning practical branding and the routes to cyber-success takes on the world of sound and vision.  Jointly produced by MusicTank and sister organsation NMK in association with CIDA, those wishing to take part must register directly with CIDA:

05 JULY:  THE F WORD: MONETISING FILESHARING

This event brings together the leading proponents of the remuneration-for-access model with rightsholders, ISPs and other stakeholders to debate the issues and opportunities of licensing filesharing.  It will seek to generate an outline of discussion points and next steps for the industries involved, which we hope will illuminate an exciting new dawn for recorded music.  We're talking about fixing a growing disconnect between the traditional recordings industry and how increasing numbers of fans first come to sample and discover new music...a rebalancing of the relationship between the business and the fan...and accepting the notion that the business can no longer control distribution and then attempting building a model around that. This will require a cooperative, inclusive approach across the digital music value chain – involving not just rightsholders and their representatives but ISPs, mobile phone companies, and MP3 and blank media manufacturers...
