Music Can Learn From Fashion's "Free" Culture

Filed in:

Copyright law's grip on film, music and software is suffocating...yet it barely touches the fashion industry...and fashion
benefits because of it, in both innovation and sales, says Johanna Blakley. At TEDxUSC 2010, she talks about what all creative industries can learn from fashion's "free" culture.

Fashion encourages an open creative process and because there is no copyright, design has been elevated. So why hasn't copying destroyed the fashion industry? And without ownership (copyright), is there an incentive for creators to innovate?

Watch the video below to find out...this is a very intriguing concept which people need to consider. So...sow can this free culture be transposed over to the music and entertainment industries? Discuss!

Vancouver Musician Cultivates Earth Day Interest

Filed in:
Scott Valentine Presents - Earth Day, All Day, Every Day

Victoria BC-based Scott Valentine Delivers Free Music with a Twist

On Earth Day, April 22, Victoria singer/songwriter Scott Valentine is hitting the streets of Vancouver with a new tune…literally.

The homegrown singer/songwriter was moved to action by the insufficient spotlight today’s environmental issues receive. Valentine will be at high-exposure downtown Vancouver locations on
Earth Day, promoting his second single, ‘Green The New Black’ (as heard on 104.3 Shore FM) by handing out 1,000 free music drop cards, each with a unique PIN providing the recipient with a free download of what Valentine hopes will be eventually recognized as the Unofficial Earth Day Anthem.

But there’s a unique twist…these drop cards are made from 100% post-consumer junk mail and embedded with wildflower seeds. After each card has been redeemed it can be planted under a thin layer of soil and it will blossom into a wildflower garden!

“It should be Earth Day, all day, every day,” says Valentine. “I believe this song will plant that seed of awareness. These drop cards are a pretty cool way of celebrating that.”

Anyone interested in receiving a
FREE Seedcard on Earth Day can receive updated location information by following him on Twitter @ScottyTuesday.

Free The Music: 3 More Albums Released For Free

Filed in:

While many in the music industry may call us crazy, we like to think of ourselves as forward thinkers embracing a new reality. Our goal, our responsibility...is to have our music heard by the world.

Let's face it, there's no shortage of music to listen to these days. In fact, it can be quite overwhelming. But what good does music do any of us if it's locked in an online vault where you have no chance of discovering it?
