I’ve been quiet here for a long time, because I’ve been busily at work with Howie Singer on our forthcoming book Key Changes: The Ten Times Technology Disrupted the Music Industry. The manuscript is almost ready to be handed off to Oxford University Press for production and publication. But in the nearer term, I am thrilled to announced that the Copyright and Technology Conference will be back at Fordham Law School in New York City on Tuesday, September 13, 2022. As usual, I’m producing the conference in partnership with my good friends at the Copyright Society (whose trustee board I am proud ..read more

I’m thrilled to announce that the Copyright and Technology Conference is back. We’re going to be virtual this year; the dates are September 22 and 23.

Our conference is now the season kick-off event for the Copyright Society’s New York Chapter; hence the move from January to September. We hope to return to in-person next year. We will have two one-hour sessions on each of the two days. Click on any of them to see t ..read more

It’s been a while since I’ve written here. There’s a reason for that: I’ve been working on a book. I’m working with Howie Singer — digital music pioneer at AT&T, former head of technology strategy at Warner Music Group, and fellow adjunct faculty in NYU’s Music Business program — on a book about the history of the music industry. The working title of the book is Struggle for the Legal Tender: The 12 Times Technology Blew Up the Music Industry. We have about half the manuscript written and are actively looking for a publisher. The popular narrative about the music industry, expressed in boo ..read more
