The medium is indeed the message …
‘Is there a coordinated effort focussing on the details behind radio royalty fees?’
‘If a multi-millionaire … can’t afford to play song samples and satire pieces live and on his podcast, what are the financial ramifications royalty rates are having on smaller, independent websites and radio stations?’
‘ … the sooner the majority of artists make their music free (not as in beer, but as in speech), the more we negate current copyright laws.’
‘ … retooling both the original and the new elements in an incredibly sensitive way’.
… and the ‘fiduciary responsibility to the content originators’
‘The best music always seemed to be coming from the worst of times. And people will always need that.’
‘Three-strikes will fail when the results become apparent to those even outside of the artist and fan contingencies. The only question is how much damage will be done … before that failure is complete.’
