It was a great pleasure to be back at the annual Noorderslagt / Eurosonic Event and Conference in Groningen (NL) and present a 60 minute talk on Context, Copyright and the Future of Music, in addition to hosting and moderating a panel called "Is Copyright the Devil" (whew... juicy headline...). I really tried to dig in even deeper as usual, and describe a plausible way forward for the music industry. Hopefully I succeeded... you be the judge of that.
After my talk, I had a spirited panel / conversation with Hans Bousie (copyright expert and cutting-edge Dutch lawyer) and Arda Gerkens (former Dutch parliament member for the Socialist Party) and really enjoyed it (and hopefully, so did the audience, see the tweets).
In my preso, I touched on quite a few topics including the Networked Society, the future of copyright, the need for a public digital music license, the shift from copy to access, and the new revenue streams for musicians, artists and composers.
