Event Review

January 2026

Ottawa

Edwards Creative Law’s Partner and Entertainment Lawyer Byron Pascoe was pleased to share practical insights on music copyright and creator protection at “SOUND AND RIGHTS: Fundamentals of Copyright in the Music Industry” at the University of Ottawa.

We appreciate ADSD uOttawa, ADPIUO Université d’Ottawa, and Association des Étudiant.e.s Noir.e.s en Droit (AEND) for bringing this event together, and Ottawa Music Industry Coalition for their support too. We are especially grateful to Professor Mistrale Goudreau for sharing the stage and offering her thoughtful and authoritative perspective, and KaMa who performed and spoke about the life of an artist. We also thank everyone who joined us for the discussion and contributed to an engaging and meaningful evening.
