THE JAZZ JOURNALISTS ASSOCIATION (JJA) PRESENTS “JAZZ MATTERS" on WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16 from 6-8pm.
“Artists Copyright vs. Corporate Copyright"
Ongoing developments in intellectual property law continue to highlight the debate over the rights of artists, JOURNALISTS, the entertainment industry, PUBLISHERS and the public to gain access to, use AND PROFIT FROM creative works. This panel will be of INTEREST to jazz media, jazz fans and jazz musicians.
Recent cases regarding peer-to-peer file sharing on the internet, an author's right of attribution AND RECOMPENSE FOR DIGITAL USES, and the extended term of copyright protection have all touched on the sensitive allocation of rights among those who create works, those who exploit them, and those who seek to enjoy them. This panel has selected knowledgeable commentators from the legal, artistic and journalistic community to discuss the struggle to protect and encourage creative authors while guaranteeing the public access to their creative output.
Panelists include Gary Giddins, author of “Weatherbird" (Oxford University Press), COLUMNIST FOR JAZZ TIMES and former jazz critic for the Village Voice; Jonny King, Copyright and Trademark Attorney, jazz musician and author of “What Jazz Is" (Walker 1997); Norman Schreiber, former Vice President of Contracts, American Society of Authors and Journalists and 25-year veteran magazine journalist; and Gail W. Boyd, President of Gail W. Boyd, P.C. and Gail Boyd Artist Management. HOWARD MANDEL, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE JJA, WILL MODERATE.
“Jazz Matters" - Wednesday, February 16, from 6-8 pm at the New School Jazz Performance Space, 55 W. 13th St. in New York.
The event is free and open to the public
