We are meeting at the Eyebeam Art + Technology Center on April 23rd to discuss potential solutions to emerging problems surrounding music "sync" licenses (i.e., the right to synchronize a musical recording with moving images) and copyright enforcement in online User Generated Content-video platforms. Sync licenses have historically been the subject of little controversy; however, since online video platforms have opened the floodgates for scores of people to publish homemade video, millions more than ever are now responsible to acquire sync licenses. This panel discussion will address how sync rights function and will also focus on achieving a practical solution that addresses both the interests of copyright holders to profit from their works and of users in easily creating new content.

Join us as we try to come to a consensus among publishers, artists, and platform creators. Our amazing panel of experts includes:

- Brandon Martinez, INDMusic

- Adam Silverman, Defy Media

- Elisa Kreisinger, Eyebeam Artist-in-Residence
