The Education and Training Committee of ARSC, the Association for Recorded Sound Collections, is pleased to announce that for the first time, ARSC is offering a live webcast of its pre-conference workshop for those who are unable to attend in person in Rochester, NY.

"Copyright and Sound Recordings" is a day-long workshop for anyone who deals with sound recordings archivists, librarians, private collectors, students, recording engineers, administrators, musicians and therefore navigates the challenges of copyright. Peter Hirtle, Intellectual Property Officer for Cornell University Library, will lead the morning session with an in-depth look at look at copyright and related issues including intellectual and performance rights, post-1972 US sound recordings, post-1923 foreign sound recordings, determining current copyright status of recordings and alternatives to the traditional copyright framework.
The afternoon session will include presentations and a roundtable discussion of issues with these speakers:
- Brandon Butler, Association of Research Libraries -- Fair Use
- David Hansen, UC Berkeley Library Digital Copyright Project -- Orphan Works and Creative Commons
- David Levine, Elon University/Stanford Center for Internet and Society -- SOPA/PIPA
- Ramon Ricker, Eastman School of Music -- Licensing, Royalties, and the Musician's Perspective
