* Check Out the 7th Annual "Future of Music Policy Summit" in Washington, DC! The Future of Music Coalition (FMC) is a national nonprofit that works on the issues at the intersection of music, law, technology and policy. For the past six years, FMC has organized an annual Policy Summit that brings an unprecedented mix of 500 musicians, artists, attorneys and policymakers together for discussions about issues that are emerging as the promotion and distribution of music moves to a global, digital platform. This year, FMC is back in Washington, DC, to host the 7th annual "Future of Music Policy Summit" from September 17- 18, 2007. Over the course of two days, panels will cover such topics as: * Copyright and licensing issues * Network neutrality and broadband policy * FCC's "rules of engagement" on payola * Sample clearance licensing process * The explosion of niche market genres * Wireless/music portability * The challenges of cultural preservation * Technologies that are bringing artists and fans closer together ...and more.
