MC&S Lab presents: “Music Rights in the Digital World” – a workshop in which Ryan McWhinnie will give you a basic overview of the digital licensing landscape and how money flows from digital services throughout the rest of the music sector.
The 90 minutes workshop will take place on Friday 20th August at 12:00 CEST.
The paradigm shift to streaming and digital has presented unique challenges and opportunities for artists, labels, and services alike. We’ll do a whistle-stop tour of some of the existing and future business models and will explore how these models and issues are shaping industry discussion on matters ranging from live-streaming to user-centric streaming models.
Registered users will also be able to take advantage of 3 individual mentoring sessions with Ryan following the workshop.
The event will take place on ZOOM, participation requires signing up.
