AIDC 2016 Conversation With Screenrights Podcast

Screenrights is the not for profit collecting society for the Australian and New Zealand screen industry. It collects licence fees related to the use of broadcast programs and distributes the money to rights-holders. Screenrights licensees include Government, Educational institutions and Pay TV operators. 2015 marked an eventful year for Screenrights. In addition to relaunching its Disbursement Service, Screenrights negotiated licences with Australian schools and universities, and advocated for a simplification of the Copyright Act. In this session, Screenrights representatives update AIDC attendees on progress across these fronts and answer questions about their work in the year ahead Speakers: Simon Lake (CEO, Screenrights), Emma Madison (Head of Member Relations, Screenrights) and Veronica Fury (Producer, WildBear Entertainment) Host: Ruari Elkington
