Jim Griffin

 

For the past year, Jim Griffin has advised Warner Music Group on digital distribution and licensing models with the goal of bringing an end to the litigation that has put a wedge between the major labels and their customers and replacing it with a regular flow of income for right holders. The project known as Choruss, which is being incubated at Warner and is planned to be rolled out as a non-profit with Griffin at the helm, proposes to build a small music-royalty fee into university tuition payments received from students, and, if successful, could be expanded to make ISPs the collector of the fees. In this keynote presentation and Q&A, Griffin will give attendees an exclusive look under the hood of Choruss, an initiative that just could save the music industry. Don't miss the opportunity to hear from and meet the man who CNN Money calls "one of the sharpest minds in digital music."
