White House to hold anti-piracy roundtable

By Kim Hart - 12/14/09 06:56 PM ET

Vice President Joe Biden will hold a roundtable discussion tomorrow afternoon about enforcing anti-piracy laws. A notice from the White House calls the meeting "the first of its kind, and will bring together all the stakeholders to discuss ways to combat piracy in this rapidly changing technological age."

Attorney General Eric Holder, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Commerce Secretary Gary Locke will be in attendance.

So will CEOs from some of the biggest media companies that have been most effected by the piracy of music, movies and other copyrighted material.
The list includes, Sony Pictures CEO Michael Lynton, Warner Music Group CEO Edgar Bronfman, and Harper Collins CEO Brian Murray.

And there may be a few questions directed toward NBC CEO Jeffery Zucker about the company's proposed mega-merger with Comcast.

Victoria Espinel, the newly confirmed Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator in the White House, will also be there.
