This coming Monday, November 28, the Film and TV Network Drinks (NBF) will take place, with the theme 'Film online: royalty-free or not?'. Featuring a special presentation by Wendy Bernfeld, a panel discussion, and, of course, plenty of opportunity to network with TV, film, and new media professionals.

Program
At the previous edition of the NBF networking drinks, the panelists extensively discussed the internet as an essential platform for visual material. The internet indeed offers creators unlimited possibilities, provided they are creative enough and know how to seize opportunities. However, there is another side to this 'walhalla' that professionals have to deal with: the rights and risks associated with visual material posted online. How are copyrights regulated on the internet, is it possible to protect them, and is this even desirable?

At this NBF networking event, Wendy Bernfeld will give a short presentation on recent trends in the digital media landscape. She will pay specific attention to several current transmedia approaches, new VOD/new media business models, and related rights issues. She will also discuss how to handle conflicts with clients (broadcasters and distributors) regarding copyright.

After the presentation, the following questions will be discussed further with the panelists: how are copyrights regulated on the internet, is it possible to protect them, and is this desirable at all?

Please note: the language of instruction is English.

Panel members (subject to change):
Wendy Bernfeld - Rights Stuff (more information)
Jetse Sprey - VWS Lawyers (more information)

Another speaker is being added.
