de Beer's Digital Music course is a unique, inter-disciplinary and international survey of the global digital music scene. Together we canvas legal, cultural, commercial and technological
aspects of the music industry in countries around the world. The
objective is to think broadly about the policies that affect the future
of digital music, and ultimately, the creation and consumption of our
own culture.
Course topics include classic questions as well as cutting-edge topics. For example, we cover:
-
The business. Find out who’s got what rights, and how key players in the industry can turn those into hard cash.
-
Sampling & mash-ups. The art of making music is changing. How much sampling is legit, and how can you help shape the rules of remixing?
-
File sharing. With the genie out of the bottle, what can be done to build new business models from old plastic discs?
-
Rights management. Despite naïve believes, digital locks will stop downloading. You can learn about better strategies to cope with new trends.
- ISP liability. What's the role of online intermediaries: Dumb pipes or copyright cops?
and much much more. Follow the posts below to see exactly what we tackle in this course.
