About Jason "Jay" Berman
Berman is globally recognized as a leader in the expansion of the
international markets for American recorded music and in trade agreements
addressing copyright and anti-piracy issues. His work has included the
passage of both the Copyright and the Enforcement Directives in the
European Union, the ratification of the WIPO Copyright Treaty and the
creation of worldwide anti-piracy enforcement operations.
In the U.S., Berman successfully led the fight for passage of the Audio
Home Recording Act of 1995, the Digital Performance Right in Sound
Recordings Act of 1995, helped author the Special 301 provisions in U.S.
trade law, and was instrumental in defending the recording industry from
censorship attacks in both Congress and state legislatures, first as
President and Chief Executive Officer and then Chairman of the Recording
Industry Association of America (RIAA) and then with the industry's
international association, International Federation of the Phonographic
Industry (IFPI).
In London, Berman oversaw the fight to extend copyright protection in
international markets for the first time. He also led the campaign against
piracy in Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Eastern Europe. Berman
authored special provisions in U.S. trade policy which led to the
incorporation of intellectual property protection.
In 1996, President Bill Clinton appointed Berman to serve on the
Commission on United States-Pacific Trade and Investment Policy. In
addition, Berman served as a member of the U.S. Trade Representative's
Service Policy Advisory Committee. His trade related activities culminated
