The Big Ideas: All music should be shareware. Just as with software, you want to preview, evaluate, and pass along good music to others--in the process of paying a fair price to support the musician. Find a way of getting music from the musician to their audience that's inexpensive and supports musicians. Otherwise, musical diversity will continue to greatly suffer under the current system where only mega-hits make money. Musicians need to be in control and enjoy the process of having their music released. The systematic destruction of musician's lives is unacceptable: musicians are very close to staging a revolution (and some already have). Creativity needs to be encouraged: today's copyright system of "all rights reserved" is too strict. We support the Creative Commons "some rights reserved" system, which enables remixes and no-cost non-commercial use.
