Praise (and Caution) of PROs

by Patrick Ross

More scholarship out today on the role of performing rights organizations (PROs) in the digital marketplace, and it’s worth reading. “Creative Industries in Transition: New Directions for the Digital Era — The Songwriters’ Performing Rights Organization Imperative and Copyright Law for the Electronic Media Marketplace” debuted today at a symposium sponsored by the George Washington University Law School and GW’s Creative & Innovative Economy Center (CIEC) and BMI. It was written by former US Register of Copyrights and GWU CIEC Fellow Ralph Oman with GWU CIEC Director Michael P. Ryan and CIEC Research Associate Bhamati Viswanathan.
