Reactions down the memory laneDisruptive technologies & copyright

Technology Innovati ons

And parodies…

Copyright for the masses

1906 2004

The Enforcers

MPAA

USA Canada Australia

UK International India

Entertainment Industry associations around the world

Creati ve Commons

“The commons” — the body of work that is available to the public for free and legal sharing, use, repurposing, and remixing.

Standardized way to grant copyright permissions to their creative work.

“All rights reserved” to “Some rights reserved.”

What Creati ve Commons Off ers to Music business?

Promotion to the artist and his records

Allows artists to reach larger audience

Build upon reputation

Foster interaction between music members

Encourage artistic and future exchange

Freedom from economic pressure of big companies in releasing any kind of work

Bypassing traditional distributors and publishers

Will it change the face of music business?

Relationship between the parties involved in the music business

Artists are dependent on the work of others

The internet not creative commons makes disintermediation or cutting the middle man

Creative commons is all about skipping the intermediary

Only small record labels have agreed to license their work under the creative commons model

Big record labels already have a established system with lots of artists and work of art with them with market reach

Big record labels make a lot of money out of the current copyright system

Creative commons model will jeopardize their present business model , revenues and even their existence.

Stakeholders not yet clear how creative commons model will fit within those agreement signed previously.

Creative commons model is helpful in limited situation and not in all
