10:15 Music Licensing in a Digital/Online World

The Internet has significantly changed the way music is licensed both in the online as well as traditional media spaces. Streaming, downloads, subscription services, movies and television episodes distributed online, user generated content, video games, digital jukeboxes, satellite radio, e-cards, direct performance licenses; these are just some of the areas created or affected by this new world. The panel will discuss the current licensing formulas, agreements, negotiations, royalties, business practices and rate-setting mechanisms affecting the creators of music (songwriters, composers and artists); the business entities representing the music (music publishers, record companies, collection societies, etc.); and the user-of-music community(broadcasters, online music services, etc.). Areas covered include:
  • How license fees and royalties are determined
  • New contract clauses encompassing the online world
  • The roles of Rate Courts, Copyright Boards, litigation, legislation and private negotiations in the process
  • How these “new deals" and new media are affecting the traditional world of music licensing

Arizona: The State Bar of Arizona does not approve or accredit CLE activities for the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education requirement.

Arkansas and Oklahoma: Audio-only live webcasts are not approved for credit.

 

1Indiana: Considered a distance education course. There is a 6 credit limit per year.

2New York: Newly admitted attorneys may not take non-transitional course formats such as on-demand audio or video programs or live webcasts for CLE credit. Newly admitted attorneys not practicing law in the United States, however, may earn 12 transitional credits in non-traditional formats.

3Ohio: To confirm that the live webcast has been approved, please refer to the list of Ohio’s Approved Self Study Activities at http://www.sconet.state.oh.us. Online programs are considered self-study. Ohio attorneys have a 6 credit self-study limit per biennial compliance period. The Ohio CLE Board states that attorneys must have a 100% success rate in clicking on timestamps to receive ANY CLE credit for an online program.

4 Pennsylvania: A live webcast may be viewed individually or in a group setting. Credit may be granted to an attorney who views a live webcast individually. There is a 4.0 credit limit per year for this type of viewing. A live webcast viewed in a group setting receives live participatory credit if the program is open to the public and advertised at least 30 days prior to the program. Live webcasts viewed in a group setting that do not advertise at least 30 days prior the program will be considered "in-house", and therefore denied credit.

5Virginia: All distance learning courses are to be done in an educational setting, free from distractions.


Running time and CLE credit hours are not necessarily the same. Please be aware that many states do not permit credit for luncheon and keynote speakers.

Note that some states limit the number of credit hours attorneys may claim for online CLE activities, and state rules vary with regard to whether online CLE activities qualify for participatory or self-study credits.
