You're Invited! BC Edge, July 29, 2009, Noon Pacific Time

If you're reading this, you're invited to our next “BC Edge” roundtable on July 29 at noon PST.

This quarter's topic: "The Copyright Alchemists: From 'Happy Birthday' to 'This Land is Your Land,' Making Millions from Songs in the Public Domain."

The purpose of this roundtable is to bring together Bryan Cave attorneys from all practice areas (not just IP), guests and clients who share an interest in cutting edge intellectual property issues.

This quarter's topic will focus on instances where licensors have made money licensing of songs which they may -- on closer inspection -- not actually own.
Our special guests will include the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Fred von Lohmann, George Washington University's Robert Braunies, and music law attorney Michael Perlstein.

As with every BC Edge, the topic I've outlined is just the beginning: where the conversation goes from there is up to all who participate.

I hope that will include you.
