New Media Law, media and technology law for the music, television, film, IT, internet, publishing and entertainment industries

New Media Law is delighted to announce its appointment, as of 9 December 2008, to advise the Isle of Man Government on its new digital rights initiative.

The initiative involves a proposal to: “present the idea of licensing telco’s and ISP’s on the Island to enable their subscribers to access music which is available from a non charging site including P2P for non commercial use via fixed line broadband or their mobile devices for a blanket monthly fee.”  Ian Penman will lead the New Media Law team, which will include Rick Riccobono (New Media Law’s International Rights Licensing Consultant) and John Haggis.
