Members and gues
ts of the Copyright Society of the South enjoyed a very informative webinar on October 20, 2022, with guest speakers Dayna Frank and Tobi Parks from the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) (https://www.nivassoc.org/). CSoS Board Member Colin Rushing moderated the event.
NIVA was formed in March 2020 to fight for Covid-19 pandemic relief for local music and comedy venues, securing more than $16 billion in funding and keeping a vital part of the music industry afloat. Frank and Parks discussed the organization’s mission and successes, their plans for NIVA’s next chapter, and their new program to improve setlist data for performance licensing.
The Copyright Society of the South was formed in 1988 in Nashville, Tennessee, consisting of music publishers, attorneys, music industry personnel, and academicians interested in the field of copyright law. Its mission is to provide a forum for study and discussion of domestic and international copyright law and other matters pertaining to the entertainment industry. It provides seminars, speakers, presentations, and the opportunity to present various points of view on subjects of interest to the membership. The Society refrains from taking a lobbying role or endorsing or sponsoring political positions or candidates. The Society also offers a scholarship awards program for students majoring in copyright-related fields.
