Catch a Tech Weekly podcast (Tech City talk) from the Guardian group, that features a discussion on Intellectual Property & Copyright in a digital age. The discussion panel on rights and ownership includes Ed Vaizey MP (minister for culture, communications and creative industries), Professor Ian Hargreaves (chair of digital economy at the Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies), Feargal Sharkey (chief executive of UK Music), Jonathan Haskel (professor of economics at Imperial College Business School) and Jeff Lynn (chairman of Coadec).

The panel attempts to answer such questions as – “How do we balance between the competing needs of the creative industry: to protect themselves, but stay open enough to ensure continued innovation?”. Listen or download here.
