A very appropriate discussion given the current issues with rights and the rise in online music proliferation.

This topic is by far the most fascinating to me. As a lawyer and music lover/composer I have already been thinking tons about the legal implications of co-authorships, online music creation, and the ability of "unsigned" musicians to protect (and hopefully profit from) their creations. I would come to SXSW simply to engage in such a discussion. Great topic idea!

A relevant topic for any aspiring musician. I'll be there. Great topic idea!

Very relevant topic. The advantages and disadvantages of Creative Commons vs. other kinds of rights protections need to be discussed. If musicians are going to be profiting off of co-authorships online (which I see as inevitable), rights and legal protections need to be addressed. What do musicians want? What do people think is fair? What is realistic? What is practical?

Finally, something about music on the internet that isn't just distribution and discovery!

I wish I had more time to say what I really feel, but love the concept/idea.

Excellent topic; a necessary issue given the inevitability of streaming content and potential reform in the legal system to stimulate synergy among artists.

Artists need to embrace this concept, or risk being left behind. What amazes me is how some of the major record labels took so long to adapt to the changing landscape.
