Session Descriptions
Plenary Presentations
Incorporating Piracy Data into Everyday Business
Beyond copyright compliance enforcement, piracy data offers a view
into the demand for a digital product without consideration for
difficult topics such as licensing arrangements or price sensitivity.
P2P is a popular mechanism for sharing of digital content, becoming more
important with BitTorrent browsers like Popcorn Time. With many of the
same attributes as sales data, piracy data offers a glimpse into the
demand for content in an area where the price is free.
Whether it is understanding the drivers of demand or closing
distribution loopholes, digital content owners have been using piracy
data in a variety of forms. In this session you will see examples for
how piracy data is mapped to more traditional metrics and used by
content owners as a way of recapturing revenue lost to piracy.
Notice and Takedown in Everyday Practice: Robots, Artisans, and the
Fight to Protect Copyrights, Expression and Competition on the Internet
Until now, very little empirical research has been done on the
effectiveness of the DMCA’s notice and takedown provisions in addressing
copyright infringement as well as due process for notice targets. This
talk will summarize research comprising three studies that draw back the
curtain on notice and takedown: it gathers information on how online
service providers and rightsholders experience and practice notice and
takedown, examines over 100 million notices generated during a six-month
period, and looks specifically at a subset of those notices that were
sent to Google Image Search.
The findings suggest that whether notice and takedown “works” is
highly dependent on who is using it and how it is practiced, though all
respondents agreed that the Section 512 safe harbors remain fundamental
to the online ecosystem. Perhaps surprisingly, a large portion of
service providers still receive relatively few notices and process them
by hand. For some major players, however, the scale of online
infringement has led to automated systems that leave little room for
human review or discretion, and in a few cases notice and takedown has
been abandoned in favor of techniques such as content filtering.
Further, surprisingly high percentage of notices raise questions about
their validity. The findings strongly suggest that the notice and
takedown system is under strain but that there is no “one size fits all”
approach to improving it. We conclude with suggestions of various
targeted reforms and best practices.
Afternoon Technology Track
Is Personal Live Streaming Changing the Game for Live Video?
Broadcasts of live events such as sports and concerts are major
sources of revenue for traditional pay television operators as well as
over-the-top Internet services. Yet new free apps like Periscope and
Meerkat, along with new live streaming capabilities on Facebook, enable
consumers to stream these events from their mobile devices to followers
around the world. These new offerings present both threats as well as
new business and creative opportunities for traditional pay and OTT
services. On this panel, we’ll discuss programming providers’ responses
to these developments as well as various techniques to detect and thwart
unauthorized rebroadcasts.
From Takedown to Staydown
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is based on the idea of “notice
and takedown,” in which service providers can remove allegedly
infringing material to avoid copyright liability. Copyright owners have
become frustrated at the need to play “Whac-a-Mole” games when their
content is repeatedly reposted after they send takedown notices. Is it
possible that when a copyright owner asks for material to be taken down,
there’s a way to ensure that it stays down, or is that not reasonable?
Discussions of “notice and staydown” need to consider the effectiveness
of technologies and processes that purport to solve the problem, as well
as the relative burdens that they place on service provider and
copyright owners alike. The experts on our panel will tackle these
issues and discuss whether sensible solutions are available.
The Importance of Copyright Management Information
The key to automating a lot of copyright-related processes – royalty
payments, piracy monitoring, rights licensing, and others – is Copyright
Management Information (CMI). On this panel, we will look at CMI and
its benefits to all participants in the content value chain. We’ll
discuss how it is created, managed, and communicated; laws such as
Section 1202 of the Copyright Act that protect it; and why it’s so
important to the future of online content.
Afternoon Law and Policy Track
Pleasures of the Harbor: DMCA Safe Harbor Eligibility
Although the DMCA has been law for over a decade and a half, legal
requirements around service providers’ eligibility for the safe harbors
remain unclear in various respects. Recent cases, including BMG v. Cox
and the appeal of Capitol Records v. Vimeo, hold the promise of further
clarity in certain areas, such as willful blindness, repeat infringer
termination policies, and others. On this panel, we discuss the body of
opinions that the courts have left us so far in helping to inform
service providers’ operating policies, the ambiguities and risks that
remain, and the prospects that future developments will make the water
clearer rather than muddier.
Collective Licensing: The Future of the ASCAP/BMI Consent Decrees
The Justice Dept. consent decrees around ASCAP and BMI may have
seemed simple enough back in the 1940s. Yet they are widely viewed as
inadequate in today’s world of rapidly expanding licensing options for
musical compositions, and movement is afoot to change or eliminate them.
We’ll deliberate the pros and cons of abolishing, tinkering with, or
maintaining the consent decrees from the perspectives of songwriters,
PROs, and service providers alike.
Mass Digitization: Progress, Goals, and Roadblocks
Technology companies today are willing and able to digitize
copyrighted works on a scale never imagined before. Copyright owners
have raised concerns over their right to do so, and the consequences of
mass digitization on publishers’ businesses and accessibility of
copyrighted material to the public remain up in the air. On this panel,
we will discuss recent developments such as the Second Circuit decision
in Authors Guild v. Google and the Copyright Office report on Orphan
Works and Mass Digitization, and consider how copyright law can
accommodate mass digitization in the future.
