this is an interesting article...

how about licensing your stuff?

a side of me kinda likes the creative commons idea--i'm not making any money from this but you can do what you want with it so long as you dont make money.
the part i am more ambivalent about is: but if you do, you have to pay me some of it.
this because it is the same as everything else.
but maybe this is bizarre-o luxury because, as an improvising musician, i have little chance of making any money from recordings in any event because i (well, anyone...not just me.) can't claim copyright over something that isn't scored.

it would be good if the music biz became more diversified about more about touring.
it'd be good if there were lots of performance venues all over the place.

maybe something like the new deal for musicians.

it'd also be good if many venues were given decent pianos, which they could have so long as they tended to them, water them when they get dry and sing to them if they have trouble getting to sleep because sometimes they do.
