Mark Your Calendars: Copyright Expo

September 9, 2008 | 12:31 PM

Notable musicians and members of the Copyright Alliance will exhibit creative works, the latest in copyright protection, and release new information detailing how copyright benefits each state at its second annual expo on Capitol Hill later this month. VIP guests at the Sept. 24 event will appeal to graying lawmakers (and fans of the golden age of music) but might be lost on some young staffers.

Martha Reeves, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee who belted out catchy Motown tunes like "Heat Wave" and "Dancing in the Street," will be on hand to sign autographs at the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists booth. Fellow hall-of-famer Felix Cavaliere of the Young Rascals ("Groovin,'" "People Got to Be Free") will meet and greet attendees at the ASACP booth. Last year's expo featured soul singers Isaac Hayes, Chuck Brown and David Porter.

Other exhibitors will include American Society of Media Photographers, Association of American Publishers, Broadcast Music Inc., Entertainment Software Association, Graphic Artists Guild, Motion Picture Association of America, National Music Publishers’ Association, Professional Photographers of America, Recording Industry Association of America and Vobile Inc.
