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.
