Global Forum: International Networking Breakfast - Chris Ruen

Описание: No, we're not talking "international" as in the International House Of Pancakes. This is a global interface over-easy, where the meal just might seal the deal. Canadian Music Week's own one-of-a-kind forum builds business bridges over language and cultural barriers, with VIP guests who can teach you how to adapt to foreign music marketplaces. Participants will be seated at breakfast roundtables under the aegis of a Think Tank facilitator.

This year's topic will be brand sponsored piracy—Fortune 500 companies that purchase advertising inventory from illegal sites. Top brands—knowingly or unknowingly--pay the money that keeps these illegal sites in business while they distribute unlicensed copies of music and movies. Everyone in the chain--ad agencies, ad exchanges, ad networks and the illegal sites make money from these brands—except the artists, songwriters and film makers. David Lowery's blog The Trichordist and the USC-Annenberg School Innovation Lab have lead the way in making the public aware of this brand sponsored piracy which has recently been covered by The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and many more.

David Lowery, Chris Ruen and Chris Castle will inform you about this "in plain sight" operation that damages creators every second of every day.
