i thought including "why its happening" and the 'creative commons movement' - will give a more interesting picture.. http://creativecommons.org/audio - share , reuse , remix - legally !!! RM> Sharing music is freedom.
RM> Reusing music may be due to influence and group/individual liking. BTW, this depends and if you are improvising too, it is creative else it should be called stolen piece. RM> Remixing is for one who doesn't understand the pulse of music and can do a fair job with the use of techno gadget toy. I should also admit that there are musicians who uses gadget with solid understanding to create different tunes. Sometime they are nice. RM> Why not people talk/organize open "Music Jam" ? That's where we create music. -Raja -S WHAT HAPPENED ------------------------------ "And the legal battle has raged on long and hard as Napster, the world's favourite P2P music and MP3 sharing service was outlawed in 2001 after mainstream artistes like Madonna, Dr. Dre and Metallica filed lawsuits against Napster." WHATS HAPPENING ------------------------------- "Apple users can use the already existing iTunes music service to download free as well as paid content. It won't be long before we can all get the latest records of our favourite bands the day it's out and more importantly, legally" http://www.hindu.com/mp/2008/06/19/stories/2008061951020100.htm WHY ITS HAPPENING --------------------------------------- there are lots of other things going on in the Net about ownership. Music and movies and various other forms of culture are being distributed better by children than by people that are being paid to do the work. Artists are beginning to discover that if they allow children to distribute art in a freehanded sort of way, they will do better than they do in the current slavery in which they are kept by the culture vultures, who do, it is true, make a good deal of money out of music, but they do so primarily by keeping ninety-four cents out of every dollar and rendering six to the musicians, which isn't very good for the musicians. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/moglen-harvard-speech-2004.html _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe " in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
