For Nothing and Forever. In this Paradise, which is just a few years off, what becomes the new dominant model(s) and what becomes of the old models, most of which (poor things), Never Even Got To Be Dominant Anyway. Obviously most of the currently dominant models from the Age of Ultra Surplus become completely irrelevant: Downloads? Online Stores? Subscriptions? DRM? TPMs? Copyright itself? Offline 'em all. In a digital universe, where one copy = an infinite number of copies, will this be Game, Set and Match for the Record Companies? Where all their intellectual property is finally and irrevocably beyond the reach of any conceivable intervention, whether technical or legal.

FRIDAY, MARCH 7TH, 2008 - 2:40pm-3:40pm DMS Beyond Ringtones: The Next Big Thing in Mobile Entertainment Room: Manitoba Mobile Entertainment used to revolve almost exclusively around “personalization.” Today, however, with the launch of new devices and services this past year, a whole new world of mobile media possibilities is being realized. Mobile Entertainment is on the cusp of delivering rich multi-media content to a mass audience. But meeting mass market expectations is a high bar, and wireless carriers and their partners will have to collaborate closely if they are to succeed. This panel will discuss the current state of the mobile media market and delve deeply into the impediments to adoption of Mobile Entertainment products and services, with special emphasis given to music, video and games as those mobile products evolve from forms of “idle” amusement into powerful interactivity elements all their own.

FRIDAY, MARCH 7TH, 2008 - 2:40pm-3:40pm Broadcasting & Webcasting Royalties: The Battle Heats Up Room: Tudor 7/8 As business models evolve and broadcasters distribute content via multiple platforms, does it make sense to add additional tariffs for the use of music in different media such as internet.

FRIDAY, MARCH 7TH, 2008 - 4:00pm-5:00pm Balancing The Facebooks: Is There a Business Model for Social Media & User-Generated Content? (DMS) Room: Manitoba With the success of social networking sites like YouTube, Facebook, Myspace, Bebo and others, user generated content has become the latest buzz. The new line of thought is that the mass attraction to these sites represent a power shift from traditional top-down corporate media to a bottom-up model in which the consumer is king. How risky is it to invest millions in consumer-produced content? Join this panel to find out if content created by consumers can really be the backbone of a viable business model.

FRIDAY, MARCH 7TH, 2008 - 5:15pm-5:30pm Keynote: Gerd Leonhard Room: Let's face it: controlling the digital distribution of music is over. In addition, the Web is forever changing music production, promotion, marketing and even A&R, as well. Any and all music is now available online, permitted or not, streamed or downloaded - if anyone still cares for making that distinction. And as of early 2008, the snake-oiled idea of DRM and digital copy protection is finally, officially, irrevocably, toast, too. The battle for digital control has been lost. For those digital natives, access to music is already replacing ownership. Radio - as we knew it - is now playing second fiddle to Online Social Networks, and the kids are tuning out of MTV & VH1 and into free, web-based, shortform TV like YouTube. Flat rate music proposals are being discussed around the globe, and gathering steam. Now, the key question is this: how can music creators get paid (and indeed, prosper!) in a world of open access, feels-like-free, paying-with-attention, a world where telecom operators, search engines and online giants run the show? How do we make money after we give up control (and it certainly looks there is no other choice)? In his keynote, Gerd wil talk about why it is crucial to welcome this change, and let go of the idea of controlling the digital flow of music, and where the new cash will come from - and lots of it, too!
