Monday, 2/11: A Special Web of Ideas with David Weinberger on The Future of the Music Industry
This coming Monday, 2/11, David Weinberger will host a special Web of Ideas on the Future of the Music Industry, with guest musician Brad Sucks. The event will take place at 7:00pm in Griswold Hall Room 110, on the campus of Harvard Law School.
The traditional music industry is crumbling. From the dust comes … BradSucks. Brad Turcotte is the very paragon of a Webby, open source musician. At his site you can download his music for free or pay him a little money. You can reuse his music as you’d like, subject to the Creative Commons license. Not only can you remix it, but Brad posts especially good remixes. He has even open sourced the paint job for one of his guitars. At this Web of Ideas, Brad will play some music and talk with David Weinberger of the Berkman Center about whether he’s the future of the music industry.
Web of Ideas is an evening discussion series at the Berkman Center, lead by Berkman Fellow David Weinberger, co-author of The Cluetrain Manifesto and author of Small Pieces Loosely Joined and Everything is Miscellaneous. Each session will begin with a 20 minute discussion-opener, followed by open conversation. Pizza will be provided.
This event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP to Amar Ashar at rsvp@cyber.harvard.edu if you plan to attend.
