The Positive Effects of Music Tech

Event Interactive 2011
Format Panel
Organizer Samantha Murphy The Highway Girl
Description We hear and read a lot about how technology has hurt the music industry. This panel will dedicate itself to exploring how technology has not only opened doors for independent artists, but set us free. Literally. Let's take a positive look at how Software like Eventric's Master Tour gives independent artists the same tools as Dave Matthews and Lilith Fair. Limelight, a new service from the company Rightsflow, enables artists to clear the licenses to any cover song for $15 online. We'll hear from the very first YouTube sensation, musical artist Terra Naomi, how YouTube did for her what Island Records couldn't.
