articles · Artists' rights to distribute

More local self published content would be used and publishers might take their ears out of their pockets.

articles · What is art to icommons ?
10/9/2007 18:01 · no comments

After going to the summit as a person not so active in the community of creative commons, I now want to understand more about Icommons. I also want to say that going to the summit was a great experience for me. I met a great bunch of people that mostly had a good vision for the future.

Victoria Shannon has a well written article in the International Herald Tribune titled "Mainstream music industry realizes the value of 'free'". It brings to light the changing scenario in the music scene that's rather fascinating. I have highlighted key points points from the article for easy reading.
