Topic: Music recording, promotion, distribution - changes and effect on copyright
Possible to protect against C infringement?
Should we bother?
Big changes - democratization - anyone can make, promote, distribute music
anybody can be a musician (make)
anybody can be a critic (promote) - blogs, vendor sites (amazon)
anybody can be a distributor - file sharing - P2P - this is a big legal gray area
Irony - easy to make, promote, distribute music - but also easy to steal!
How to stop copyright infringement?
Debate - music co + some musicians - strict laws
tech/file sharing co - want freedom
others - no solution
Conc. - need new models for paying artists and recording companies
