The upcoming think tank, entitled Follow The Money: Can The Business Of Ad-Funded Piracy Be Throttled?, will gather industry executives together to discuss the advertising models that make illegal filesharing platforms profitable.
Geoff Taylor, chief executive of the BPI, will shed light on the record music industry’s work against unlicensed music websites. James Barton, artist manager (Bright Light Bright Light, Iyes), will approach the issue from the standpoint of managers and small music business owners.
They join Theo Betram, UK policy manager for Google, and David Lowery, music artist and passionate advocate for artists’ rights online at The Trichordist.
Panellists will also examine the wider relationships between the music industry and tech firms, asking if we are approaching a tipping point, away from the adversarial lobbying that typified the last decade and towards a future based on more fruitful partnerships.
The session takes place between 6pm and 9pm on 28 May at Fyvie Hall, University of Westminster, London W1B 2UW. For more information and tickets, see www.musictank.co.uk
