In this episode, Meredith Rose, Policy Counsel at Public Knowledge, discusses her work on the licensing regime for streaming music over the internet. She begins by explaining how copyright in music works and who owns the different copyright interests in a typical song. She describes how and why licensing music for internet streaming differs from licensing music for broadcast radio. She identifies transaction costs associated with licensing music for internet streaming, and the role of the Copyright Royalty Board in potentially mitigating those costs. And she closes by reflecting on what the next big disputes in music licensing might be. Rose is on Twitter at @M_F_Rose.
