As broadband grows, with it come not only threats to rights holders, but also potential solutions and new attitudes in public behavior. All the news is not bad. While the adversarial positions in the legal process may not be softening and the legislative proposals continue to weave through the system, there are many factors in the technological space as well as in the marketplace which may come to mitigate or even change the flow of history. In this session, we bring together a group of the primary players in the field, looking to exchange ideas and give us a roadmap for the future.

During his time at the MPA, Bill was instrumental in designing a framework for Hollywood to respond to the challenges presented by changing technology. Rather than simply attacking piracy in the traditional fashion, Bill developed a multi-disciplinary approach which addressed the legislative, public relations, legal, and technological aspects of the issue, an approach intended to allow film and television producers to maximize the potential of new technology while aggressively confronting piracy threats. Over a 20 year career at the MPA, Bill designed the MPA’s first strategic plan, worked with a variety of foreign governments on film production and trade policy, and held a series of positions at the MPA that included responsibility for the Association’s international operations, strategic planning, market research, and digital strategy Bill is a frequent speaker on the entertainment industry, having addressed the International Federation of Film Producers, the Los Angeles Consular Corps, the Banff World Television Conference, the Rio de Janeiro Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, the ShoWest motion picture industry convention, and university audiences including UCLA, Pepperdine, Thunderbird, and USC, where he delivered the keynote address at the 2003 Marshall School of Business International Case Competition.
