Topic:
“Royalty Models Turned Upside Down –
Who’s on First – the IP or the
Distributor?”
The
panel discussion will focus on challenges presented to both publishers and
third-party distributors of content. When is it better to use a third party, and
when is it better to go direct? What mechanisms are in place today that enable
the customer to receive content in the form and format required while still
protecting the Publisher's interests? How are third parties managing the two
entities to better serve both customer and originators'
needs?
