In conjunction with the Musicians’ Union, PCAM is resuming its highly-regarded seminar series for 2012 with a session on:
Musicology and the Law, or: 'Everything you need to know about soundalikes, re-records, parody, passing off and ripping off.'
Date: Monday 9th July 2012
Time: 6.00 pm
Place: University of London Union, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HY.
Cost: Free to PCAM and MU Members, £35 to others.
With recent press stories shining a spotlight on the mistaken identity of music soundtracks in TV ads, this seminar aims to expose the myths and realities of infringement and how composers can avoid potentially disastrous mistakes. What are the legal issues involved when taking inspiration from the work of other musicians and through what processes can things go wrong?
The panel of experts includes (among others) eminent musicologist Peter Oxendale and leading music business and copyright lawyer Andrew Sharland of Clintons.
