(eWebWire.com) October 02, 2010 — WORLD WIDE WEB, October 02, 2010 (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) — Featuring a panel of visionary thinkers and entrepreneurs, the California Copyright Conference is devoting an evening to the discussion of the evolving business landscape of the music industry as well as strategies for the future. Taking place the evening of October 12 in Los Angeles, the event is open to the public.

"Challenges in the music business are immense," notes CCC President Shawn LeMone of ASCAP, who cites declining record sales and increased competition for placement in film, TV and video games as just two examples. "The opportunities, however, are unprecedented," LeMone continues. "Music is being listened to more than ever before and the explosion of new technologies has created many excellent avenues to monetize music."

Everyone involved with the music industry, from lawyers to performers and from managers to music publishers, is invited to join the CCC in a frank discussion of how to survive and even prosper as a music industry professional now and into the future.

The presentation entitled "The Music Industry: A Survival Guide for the Future" will be co-moderated by LeMone and Diane Snyder-Ramirez of the Royalty Review Council, a CCC officer and board member. "The information we are going to present in this program will be extremely valuable for every musician and artist as well as those supporting creators who are seeking success in the modern age," states Snyder-Ramirez.

The event will feature an impressive list of speakers, including:

* Russell Emanuel, CEO, Extreme Music
* Amanda Marks, EVP/GM, Universal Music Distribution
* Patrick Russo, Principal, The Salter Group
* Steve Schnur, President, EA Music Group
