Description

Know What's Right: Understanding (and Profiting from) Music Rights
SPEAKER/S: Brian Schmidt (Brian Schmidt Studios, LLC)
DAY / TIME / LOCATION: Friday 9:30-10:30 Room 3020, West Hall 3rd Fl.
TRACK / FORMAT: Business and Management , Audio / Lecture
DESCRIPTION: Code, Art, Music - it's all the same, right? Actually, not according to copyright law. Did you know that you (as a developer/publisher) may have a right to receive money if your game's music is played on TV (remember the South Park WoW episode?), performed in a concert (think Video Games Live) or even if it appears in enough YouTube fan videos? Understanding the unique and often non-intuitive rights associated with music can ensure you set yourself up to receive proper compensation as well as understand the issues you may face when creating or contracting music for your game.
TAKEAWAY: Attendees will come away knowing the essentials of music rights, how they differ from rights of other intellectual property of their game, and what steps need to be taken to take advantage of those rights. Specifically they will understand how performance and other music rights can both put money in their own pocket as well as understand the issues to be able to negotiate intelligently with their composer over music and music rights.
