Oct 08 2014 - Brian Camelio to speak at George Mason University School of Law
ArtistShare founder and CEO, Brian Camelio, will be speaking at George Mason University’s Center For The Protection of Intellectual Property (CPIP) conference, Common Ground: How Intellectual Property Unites Creators and Innovators, on October 10th 2014. This conference will take a look at the connection between the creative and innovative industries, and their importance in the United States Economy.
Some believe that creative rights are inhibitors to innovation and growth; that the future of innovation is reliant on open access to all information. However, this conference will take a closer look at how creators and innovators are related and why intellectual property rights are vital to protecting these industries’ investments and future innovation.
Camelio will be part of the panel entitled Creative Upstarts and Start-Up Firms: Sources of New Innovation and Creative Works. As the founder of ArtistShare, Camelio has been working to protect artists’ creative rights for many years. With ArtistShare, musicians, for example, are able to keep the rights to music they create, something that many major record labels would not allow until recently. Through ArtistShare, creative artists not only have a business model which allows compensation before a work is released (and potentially shared digitally) but a complex set of tools to execute and manage creative projects. The launch of ArtistShare in 2003 has since paved the way for “crowdfunding” sites such as Kickstarter and Indie-GoGo. Camelio, in his own capacity as an inventor holds US patent 7,885,887 (filed in 2002 and issued in 2011) which describes his detailed system for creative artists to build and present creative projects for funding through a network. He will also be discussing the importance of patent protection for young inventors and how IP protection allows creators to take bold risks in order to innovate and realize their dreams.
