4th Annual Digital Music Forum

March 1, 2004 | New York City
www.digitalmusicforum.com

OVERVIEW
While unauthorized file sharing and shifts in consumer spending from CDs to DVDs and video games resulted in a 2.2% decline in total U.S. music sales in 2003, the roll out of licensed online services, like iTunes and Napster, which offer a large selection of licensed content that can be purchased as digital singles, seems to be having a positive effect on the industry and is expected to generate $1.8 billion in sales by 2008. Labels are reinventing themselves and the industry as a whole is experimenting with emerging technologies that are creating new opportunities and challenges. Digital Music Forum, now in its 4th year, brings together decision-makers from labels, record companies, music publishers, producers and distributors, technology companies, wireless companies, rights organizations, industry bodies, radio, advertising, attorneys, artists investors and venture capitalists to focus on the role of digital technologies in the future of music.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
This year's forum focuses on the following questions:

- Is there a viable business model for selling music online?
- Can licensed services compete with free downloads from file-sharing networks?
- Who will be the winners and the losers in the world of online music sales?
- What is the status of pending lawsuits and legislation concerning digital copyrights? Can the music industry profit from legitimate uses of P2P?
- How are consumers reacting to new formats for music delivery?
- Will new formats generate the kind of success that the industry experienced with CDs during the '80s and '90s?
- What are the challenges and opportunities for music industry executives seeking to maximize the potential of the mobile market?
- What does the future hold for satellite and Internet radio?
