I have a 'Google Alert' on the phrase "Creative Industries Forum on
Intellectual Property". Any time a news article appears and is indexed
by Google news with that phrase in it I get an e-mail. I received
nothing prior to this speech sadly. Otherwise I'd have been sure to let
you all know.

A little research now shows that the speech was made at
http://www.creativeeconomyconference.org/ where you will find
discussions such as 'Licensing: Fit & Fair' chaired by a director of
FIAPF, 'Value For All And More Of It' by Adam Singer, CEO of MCPS-PRS
and 'From Creativity To Commerce' by Tarja Koskinen-Olsson, Honorary
President of IFRRO. I am entirely confident that coming from these
organizations they will be able to chair these discussions in a fair and
balanced way </sarcasm>.
