Digital Music Forum

This forum got a very good reaction last year. It's kind of expensive, but if you are in the biz, it could be well worth your while. If any of the Big Questions get answered, let me know.

4th Annual DIGITAL MUSIC FORUM
March 1, 2004 New York City

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
This year's forum focuses on the following questions:

- Is there a viable business model for selling music online?
- Can licensed services compete with free downloads from file-sharing
networks?
- Who will be the winners and the losers in the world of online music sales?
- What is the status of pending lawsuits and legislation concerning digital copyrights? Can the music industry profit from legitimate uses of P2P?
- How are consumers reacting to new formats for music delivery?
- Will new formats generate the kind of success that the industry experienced with CDs during the '80s and '90s?
- What are the challenges and opportunities for music industry executives seeking to maximize the potential of the mobile market?
- What does the future hold for satellite and Internet radio?
