The discussion was great. We talked about the sampling decision and its
impact on hip-hop and other genres (even Cantwell, Gomez and Jordan use
samples -- who knew?); debated the possible decline of the album format
in the face of personalized playlists; discussed the role of record
labels, particularly independent ones, as they begin to aggressively use
the Web; talked about Creative Commons licensing and other alternatives
to traditional copyright; and discussed ways that musicians could turn
the power dynamic around to their favor when dealing with the industry.

We generally agreed that the cooperative nature of the local music scene
insulates it from a lot of the changes at the top -- playing live and
going to see bands play live, that won't change.

Paul Jones blogged about it a little here:

And I'll write a wrap-up in my next colum, which will probably run in a
couple of weeks. We taped it on DV so hopefully we can get it online at
some point.

But yes, turnout was very low. I wish more of you had taken advantage of
this non-competitive forum, which included the insight of two IP
attorneys who were off the clock. Is that something that interests
people on this list?

Pretty good discussion.

Brief, incomprehensible debate on fair use between the two lawyers on
the panel.

Clear Channel was not mentioned.

I had a toothache, so I skipped the cupcake, but I think everyone else
got one.
