Unlocking the Secret: How Blanket Licensing Could Revolutionize Generative AI—and What It Means for You
The following year, Copyright and Technology also became an annual conference. One of my inspirations was a Future of Music Coalition conference that I attended back in the early 2000s, when the Napster litigation was still a fresh memory. This was the first time that I remember seeing all types of people in the same room, having no choice but to engage with one another: technologists, musicians, music industry people, entrepreneurs, lawyers, policy wonks, and academics. It got a little ugly at times, but the resulting dialog was a revelation. In 2016 I began producing the Copyright and Technology conference in partnership with the Copyright Society, and eventually the “and” morphed into a plus sign. I’ve had the great fortune to work with (and be a member of) the Copyright Society ever since.
