DESCRIPTION:Le chapitre canadien de l'Association Littéraire et Artistique 
 Internationale (ALAI) et le Centre des politiques en propriété intellectue
 lle sont heureux d'accueillir le professeur David Nimmer.\n\n[La suite en 
 anglais seulement]\n\nIn October 2018\, Congress passed a massive amendmen
 t to the US Copyright Act\, under the caption “Orrin G. Hatch–Bob Goodlatt
 e Music Modernization Act.” The upheaval caused by that earthquake is stil
 l being felt.\n\nProfessor Nimmer will place these events in context. Taki
 ng a comprehensive look at US copyright law as it progressed through the 2
 0th century\, he will focus on its distinctive provisions governing the ex
 ploitation of musical compositions and sound recordings. He will show how 
 the 1976 Act slotted those works for protection\, including its distinctiv
 e feature allowing “termination of transfer\,” namely the recapture of wor
 ks 35 years after granting rights in them. From there\, we will work throu
 gh numerous details of the 2018 blockbuster legislation. Beyond placing it
  in the context of what has come before (including its impact on terminati
 on of transfer)\, he will root matters in their 21st century implementatio
 n.\n\nIncluded will be a look at such features as:\n\nFederalization of pr
 otection for pre-1972 sound recordings\, which formerly were protected as 
 a matter of state law\;\n	The newly established blanket license\, administe
 red by a “mechanical licensing collective”\;\n	Status of voluntary licenses
  in the context of the newly formed blanket license\;\n	The coordinate esta
 blishment of the role of “digital licensee coordinator”\;\n	Regulation of f
 unctions of “digital musical providers”\;\n	The massive new “musical works 
 database” that lubricates the entire process\;\n	Effect of these new forms 
 on traditional copyright infringement causes of action\;\n	The brainteaser 
 of what constitutes “digital phonorecord delivery”\; and\n	Further ruminati
 ons on the new treatment of musical compositions versus sound recordings.
