Fair MusE to lead special session at EPIP Conference 2024 in Pisa, Italy
Fair MusE, in collaboration with Open MusE, will play a prominent role at the 19th Annual Conference of the European Policy for Intellectual Property (EPIP) Association, which will take place in Pisa on 11-13 September 2024.
A special session titled ‘Copyright and Music Data in Europe: Transparency as an Imperative to Promote Creators’ Fair Remuneration and Music Diversity’ will be co-chaired by Professor Giuseppe Mazziotti (Catolica Global School of Law and Principal Investigator and Coordinator of Fair MusE) and Professor Joost Poort (University of Amsterdam). This session will bring forward discussions on critical topics such as:
- The potential of platform regulation and competition law to enhance music copyright infrastructures.
- The role of data transparency in promoting fairness within the European music ecosystem.
- Fairness as an EU regulatory concept for protecting music creators’ rights.
Fair MusE researchers will present their latest findings, focusing on how regulatory frameworks can be leveraged to build a fairer, more transparent music industry across Europe.
About EPIP
The European Policy for Intellectual Property (EPIP) is an international, independent, interdisciplinary association dedicated to the research and analysis of intellectual property (IP) systems and intangible assets. Established in 2003, EPIP emerged from a network supported by the European Commission, with the aim of addressing the complex policy challenges posed by the knowledge economy. The association serves as a leading platform for discussions on IP and its role in innovation, economic growth, and social cohesion in Europe.
EPIP’s annual conference brings together researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders from various disciplines to explore the evolving landscape of intellectual property rights and their impact on European competitiveness. Alongside the annual conference, EPIP hosts workshops and fosters collaborative research to advance discussions on key IP issues.
