Mark Weston: The Legal Side of Music, Film & Beyond

“Copyright protects the expression of ideas – not the ideas themselves.” — Mark Weston

What does it really take to protect, manage, and monetise creative work in music, film, and TV? In this special interview, expert lawyer and IPI Academy speaker, Mark Weston, sits down with Ella, IPI Academy team member and musician, for an engaging conversation covering three essential areas: the foundations of copyright, the role of collecting societies, and the practical realities of licensing music for business use.

From untangling legal complexities to sharing real-world examples, Mark brings the law to life for creatives, businesses, and legal professionals alike – while Ella draws on her own experience as a musician to bring her own perspective from inside the creative industry.
