Abstract
Is home downloading killing music? Should Internet Service Providers monitor customers to try and spot copyright infringement, and disconnect downloaders? Do musicians need new laws to benefit from the opportunities of the Internet?
Join us to debate these questions and more with leading copyright thinkers from the music world, government, consumer groups and universities.
