No printed casebook or edited materials exist in this field, so I've created lessons that link you directly to the key cases, scholarly literature, news reports, blog postings and other resources you'll need to learn about our subject.
Because digital music issues evolve so quickly, I've defined written up a posting on this course website that synthesizes and links to various materials relevant to the topic-of-the-day. When prepping for class, your best bet is to start by reading my synthesis of the issues and perspectives. Then I'd like you to start sifting through the links to gather more information, and start to develop your own opinions. How deep should you go? Well, it depends on how much time you have. Just like in the real world, you'll need to priortize based on your assessment of importance, and figure out when you know enough to get by.
Ideally, I'd like you to go even further by broading the class horizons with links to cutting edge cases, news reports, academic or policy papers, audio-video content or anything else you think would enrich our discussion. Please share these resources for the benefit of the entire class. You can use the Twitter hashtag #digitalmusic, or email me. Most importantly, bring your news and ideas to class and put them on the table for discussion. The more YOU engage, the better the class will be for everyone.
