Media Web Meet-up: Rock'n'Rebirth
Tuesday November 13, 2007 from 1:00pm - 3:00pm
Neue Songbird Nest
585 Howard Street between 1st and 2nd
San Francisco, California 94107 Get Directions
Subject: Rock'n'Rebirth

There seems to be alot of famous artists doing unconventional things like dropping their labels (Madonna), posting their music online (Radiohead) and encouraging remixing (NIN) these days. What's up with that? Is this signaling a rebirth of the music industry? Does the future look even more bleak for record labels and the RIAA? Are they finally coming to terms with what we've known for years?

And most of all: what are the new protocols? Mike Linksvayer from Creative Commons will lead this exciting discussion on the potential of this rebirth.

Speaker/Discussion Leader: Mike Linksvayer, Creative Commons

These meet-ups are intended to get people interested and working in the media web together to discuss what it means to be open. Those working on open protocols, methods and formats on the web are very welcome, too!.

Hi, are there any further pointers to online resources on this? And like to make sure there's a pointer to the initiative of the Dutch Buma/Stemra copyright organisation to start working with Creative Commons :-) http://www.bumastemra.nl/en-US/OverBumaStemra/Actueel/Buma%20Stemra%20and%20Creative%20Commons%20Nederland%20are%20starting%20a%20pilot.htm

Regards, Rolf.

The model for the future that my company Strayform is pushing is to fund the creation of new works and then release them openly under Creative Commons. The middle-man is removed, Artists get paid, Funders get a chance to be involved in the creation process, and the media is allowed to trade freely.

It looks like music is actually becoming a creative endeavor undertaken by artists like before the labels put a stranglehold on the industry.

Who'd of thunk it?
