From CaribbeanNetNews.com:

The Copyright Advocacy Group for Music and Arts (CAGMA) has launched a project aimed at edifying Caribbean recording artistes, publishers, writers, performers and music industry stake holders about the administrative aspects of copyright, its advancement and challenges.

Hundreds of regional stakeholders and interest groups are expected to benefit greatly from the free project, which would be the first trans-national undertaking of its kind in the Caribbean.

The two-day training project is slated to be held systematically in Barbados, St Lucia, Dominica, St. Kitts, the Bahamas, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Aruba, Antigua, Turks and Caicos Islands, and Grenada during the months of March and April 2009.

According to CAGMA’s Press Secretary Shevone La Fleur, while the organization is fully prepared to host the projects, discussions are still underway with various stakeholders in the selected territories to provide logistical and moral support. Hence a formal time table for the regional-wide project will be made available when discussions are through and the respective territorial commitments are made.

The Regional Copyright Training Project is partially funded by CAGMA with support from several key players within the Caribbean’s music industry.

CAGMA which is based in Georgetown, Guyana was founded in late 2006, and is arguably one of the most influential copyright entities in the region, and the only one in Latin America and the Caribbeanwhose charter empowers it to negotiate directly with the State.

The organization provides legal representation and international lobbying support to regional copyright owners, musicians and members whose works may have been infringed, primarily outside of the
Caribbean region.
