Don’t miss this in-depth look at intellectual property protection and piracy tactics from virtually every viewpoint.

If you create, produce, own, manufacture, distribute, transport, sell, touch or have any responsibility for Intellectual Property at any point in its lifecycle, you need to be here!

This fast-paced, information-packed day is designed to give you a practical and sobering view of the depth of the piracy problem in virtually every Intellectual Property arena from music, to film, to business software, to games.

Check out these highlights…

• Top Intellectual Property owner executives lay it on the line as to what they want – and demand – from suppliers who are entrusted with multi-million dollars worth of content in various stages along the media-to-market chain.
  • As the pirates become more creative and devious, content owners need to make their anti-piracy and intellectual property systems more robust and tough . . . yet practical. This discussion maps out the protections and assurances that can capture content owners’ imagination and business in this very competitive battleground.
• Operation Content Safe – Music Standards for Recording, Mixing and Mastering Studios are introduced for the first time as IRMA responds to content-owners seeking to provide more protection to their valuable intellectual property from creation through distribution to the marketplace. When content is swiped and put into the marketplace before release dates the music labels (and other content owners) suffer huge financial losses. Operation Content Safe (OCS) is the concerted response to industry calls for more stringent anti-piracy procedures and protections along the supply line. The extension of OCS to games and other content and software for “cradle-to-grave” protection is underway.
• There is growing pressure being placed on content owners and replicators/duplicators in response to the changing market and retailer wants and needs. As products travel the sometimes porous market supply chain, it takes a cooperative effort among the firms providing market delivery services to content owners to ensure a smooth, effective and confidence-laden system. Supply chain management experts define the problems and solutions and new business models needed to keep pace with market and content owners’ demands.
• An experienced duo of technology experts – who speak in down-to-earth, everyday terms – cover tracing the lineage of the disc to discover the “parents” of the illegal disc as part of the disc and stamper forensics trail, new systems for defeating "off the shelf" and "freeware" ripping, stripping, and one-to-one copying software for DVD, and a practical approach to copy control and management to balance the interests of the Intellectual Property owners and a consumer-friendly marketing environment.
