CMU MD and Business Editor Chris Cooke will explain the strained relationship between YouTube and the music industry, reviewing the so-called safe harbours that YouTube relies on and how the European Copyright Directive may change them. He will then discuss the issues – but also why YouTube is still a key partner for artists and labels – with two persons representing their different view on the matter.
