how can independent record companies and performers make sure they are managing their sound recording performance rights properly? Most people are aware of what the options are to manage sound recording performance rights locally, but what about revenues that may be generated in other countries? If your recordings are getting airplay or public performance in countries outside of your own - perhaps across Europe and beyond - do you have the best strategy in place to ensure you are accessing revenues that are rightfully yours, in the most efficient way? The panel will look at how this area of the industry works, focussing on practical examples of the options available to rights holders, and some of the considerations to take into account. representatives from various sides of the industry will be on the panel, to give a broad view and practical guidance on how to maximize and manage revenues in this area. moDerATor: CHArLie PHiLLiPS (WorLDWiDe inDePenDenT neTWorK, Gb) Charlie Phillips is head of Legal and Commercial Affairs at Worldwide Independent Network, an Association of Independent Music Ltd.
