WHY:     New subscription services such as MusicNet and Pressplay have
         made the distribution of digital music and commerce a
         reality. Record companies and studios are looking to provide
         new, on-demand services over PCs, televisions and other
         platforms, and Napster and MP3.com are redefining their
         business models while companies like Morpheus continue to
         walk the fine line on legal distribution of copyrighted music
         and material. Join us at Digital Media Wire's Digital Music
         panel to hear John Perry Barlow, co-founder/vice chairman,
         Electronic Frontier Foundation, Berkman Fellow, Harvard Law
         School and Grateful Dead lyricist, as he faces off with
         record industry leaders. The panel will discuss Barlow's
         mandate to promote "a world where technology can empower us
         all to share knowledge, ideas, thoughts, humor, music, words
         and art with friends, strangers and future generations"
         juxtaposed against record industry initiatives involving
         technology and the Internet.
