SERIES 2: RIGHTS This series of presentations and panels focuses on the struggle for law and policy to keep pace with technological advancement. 9:15am – 9:30am PRESENTATION "Bypassing Societies: The Direct Licensing of Music Catalogs" Les Watkins, SVP, Bus. Affairs & Dev., Music Reports In today's difficult music business environment, both rightsholders and music users are seeking to maximize revenue by licensing music directly, instead of through music rights societies. One effect of this trend will be to further fragment the "balkanized" music rights landscape, thereby giving rise to independent rights administrators, who will increasingly perform the functions of traditional music rights societies. Direct licensing may offer the most cost-effective way for music users to obtain all of the rights that they need from the one party who can grant all of those rights-the rightsholder-even as it diminishes the role played by traditional music rights societies, to the benefit of all, including artists and composers. 9:30am – 10:15am PANEL: RIGHTS & LICENSING: If I wanted to reform music copyright law, I would... A common complaint of entrepreneurs attempting to license music for digital music-based services is that the current laws governing music licensing are too complex and unfavorable to digital music start-ups.

In an ideal, what changes should be made or not?
