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.

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"

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.
