The Future of Music Coalition is hosting DC Policy Day Seminar on April 12:

On Tuesday, April 12 join us in Washington for a DC Policy Day.  This will be like a one-day version of our Policy Summit, but with a laser-beam focus on four issues that are emerging in the Courts, Congress and at the Copyright Office.  By bringing together key stakeholders – musicians, advocates, policymakers, technologists, academics – we will once again generate a meaningful, well-balanced discussion on the issues that will impact musicians and the music community in 2005 and beyond.

Speakers include FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein, Representative Diane Watson (D-CA), Jule Sigall (Associate Register for Policy & International Affairs, US Copyright Office), John Simson (Executive Director, SoundExchange), Gigi Sohn (President, Public Knowledge).

The Signal or Noise II conference will be held in Ames Courtroom, Austin Hall on the Harvard Law School campus on April 8, 2005.
