Ex-RIAA chief opens antipiracy consultancy
Former record industry trade group leaders, including ex-RIAA CEO Hilary Rosen, join forces for a new company.
Now, after two years largely out of the spotlight--aside from a few
The new firm, called Berman/Rosen Global Strategies, aims to advise technology and entertainment companies on piracy and licensing issues and to help develop legislative strategies, but will not be an active lobbying firm, Rosen said.
"It seems like not as much has changed in the space as we might have thought in two and a half years, while other things have dramatically changed," Rosen said. "I think there are places where we can be of help."
The firm will work with economist Barry Massarsky, who has previously worked with the RIAA and music composers, to help companies and venture capitalists estimate the effect of piracy on media business, she said.
