I can’t help but think that this model will lead to a flood of music from artists who are the most creative marketers, not the most creative artists. Which is nothing different from the current model. Are we doomed to wade through a mountain of waste to find the diamond?

Sherri, I’m so glad you got something out of this post.

My impression is that we are witnessing the emergence of a postliberal and postsocialist legal theory. Here we have a conception of privacy that expresses the singularity of social subjectivities (not private property) and a conception of the public based upon the common (not state control).

Making something public without being exposed to government surveillance and control while still enjoying making something private without becoming subject to property rights opens up new possibilities for all of us.

Fantastic videos! I’ve never put all that together in my own head that way before. It’s what we’re taught in the courses we take. But equating it to the music business, something all of us grew up with, and with the TV business, TV for the masses (broadcast) to TV for the individual (huge # of digital cable channels), it puts a whole new spin on the subject.

Evan, I’m very glad you like the formula, it has become a proven winner for both musicians and Internet marketers.

Thank you for the tip about the On The Commons blog, here is the URL for everyone else:
http://onthecommons.org/

I usually think of The Commons in a historical sense as exemplified by this Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_commons

“The commons refers to resources that are collectively owned. This can include everything from land to software. The process by which the commons are transformed into private property is often termed enclosure.”

I think we are all feeing the effects of another enclosure movement right now by transnational corporations and their bankers. I believe history can show us where we have gone astray in the past and therefore provides more than adequate warnings regarding our present actions. The question remains if we have the wisdom to heed the advice.

Sorry you had issues with the bold text. I’m trying to make it easy to scan so I’m using short paragraphs, bolding key phrases and a few other things. Obviously, I still have a few things to work out. I appreciate the insight into your feelings about it.
