DESCRIPTION:ALAI and the CIPP welcome Professor David Nimmer.\n\nIn October
  2018\, Congress passed a massive amendment to the US Copyright Act\, unde
 r the caption “Orrin G. Hatch–Bob Goodlatte Music Modernization Act.” The 
 upheaval caused by that earthquake is still being felt. Professor Nimmer w
 ill place these events in context.\n\nTaking a comprehensive look at US co
 pyright law as it progressed through the 20th century\, he will focus on i
 ts distinctive provisions governing the exploitation of musical compositio
 ns and sound recordings. He will show how the 1976 Act slotted those works
  for protection\, including its distinctive feature allowing “termination 
 of transfer\,” namely the recapture of works 35 years after granting right
 s in them. From there\, we will work through numerous details of the 2018 
 blockbuster legislation. Beyond placing it in the context of what has come
  before (including its impact on termination of transfer)\, he will root m
 atters in their 21st century implementation.\n\nIncluded will be a look at
  such features as:\n\n\n	Federalization of protection for pre-1972 sound re
 cordings\, which formerly were protected as a matter of state law\;\n	The n
 ewly established blanket license\, administered by a “mechanical licensing
  collective”\;\n	Status of voluntary licenses in the context of the newly f
 ormed blanket license\;\n	The coordinate establishment of the role of “digi
 tal licensee coordinator”\;\n	Regulation of functions of “digital musical p
 roviders”\;\n	The massive new “musical works database” that lubricates the 
 entire process\;\n	Effect of these new forms on traditional copyright infri
 ngement causes of action\;\n	The brainteaser of what constitutes “digital p
 honorecord delivery”\; and\n	Further ruminations on the new treatment of mu
 sical compositions versus sound recordings.\n\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nDavi
 d Nimmer is of counsel to Irell & Manella LLP in Los Angeles\, California.
  He also serves as Professor from Practice at UCLA School of Law\, and Dis
 tinguished Scholar at the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology. He has a

 arques peu orthodoxes sur la protection du droit d’auteur en France et aux
  Etats-Unis\,” which was published in Entertainment\, Issue No. 8 (2018).
