Content is at the core of the problem. It's not just music and the Net anymore; now it's about content, video, audio text, and rights of the individual-in a cross — platform universe of DVD, TV, cable, broadband, mobile, and the Net. Protecting your intellectual property is at the forefront of both the bottleneck of what keeps content from the consumer as well as what will make the system work for all parties in an agreeable revenue-sharing model. The industry, the content companies, the technology companies, and the advisory and legal communities are all playing key roles in the process of reaching and discovering solutions. In this session, we bring together a fascinating and highly experienced group of leading figures in the world of intellectual property. We welcome them and look forward to an engrossing discussion.
