Panel: Disseminating Sound
In recent years music distribution has changed drastically due to the availability and easy dissemination of music through downloads and streaming technologies. This panel addresses the economic changes within the industry in relation to specialized, small-scale music labels focusing on the participants of The Morning Line who run their own labels and are involved in the creation of alternative dissemination systems. The creation of new legal frameworks – such as the increasingly popular copyleft movement or Apple’s ruling on digital rights management (DRM) – and the overriding dominance of iTunes Store in the distribution of digital content figure as the backdrop for discussion.
Participants: Zavoloka, Anna Ceeh, Carsten Nicolai, Franz Pomassl, Einar Örn Benediktsson, Tommi Grönlund, and Rob Young (moderator)
