FSC's Duke to Speak on DCIA Seminar Panel

CANOGA PARK, Calif. — Free Speech Coalition executive director Diane Duke is set to speak at the inaugural Distributed Computing Industry Association (DCIA) P2P and Cloud Media Summit.

The summit will be held at the Loews Santa Monica Hotel May 6. Duke will appear at 12 p.m. on a panel titled, “Key Challenge — Balancing Monetization and Anti-Piracy Efforts to Maximize Profitability.”

The topics that will be discussed include business models that are the most promising in the P2P and cloud-based content delivery environments; changes needed to better harness P2P and file-sharing technologies; as well as optimization of security solutions and other developments that will benefit users of P2P, cloud-based and assisted-peer distribution platforms.

“I think it is important that the people creating these new content delivery platforms understand the impact of piracy on the entertainment industry overall,” Duke said. “Both content providers and platform creators need to think ‘outside the box’ at potential delivery systems and business models that will broaden access for consumers while providing revenues for the creators of the content.”

Other panelists include independent producer Melike Amjarv, Copyright Clearance Center’s Chris Kenneally, BUZZMedia’s Mike Lewis, BayTSP’s Lawrence Low and Game Based Monitoring’s Gabe Zichermann.

The panel will be moderated by Laura Tunberg of We Get It Consulting.
