    Public Knowledge today opened a new Web site dedicated to copyright issues as they affect musicians. The site, NYMusicCopyright.Org, is funded by a grant from the New York State Music Fund.

    “This new site is dedicated to helping musicians understand a very complicated copyright landscape,” said Gigi B. Sohn, Public Knowledge president and co-founder.

    On the site, users will find an introduction to copyright.

    There are also sections on:

    Music licensing

    Sampling

    Alternative methods of distribution

    Remedies for copyright infringement

    Device makers and infringement

    Internet service providers and infringement

    Peer-to-peer technologies

    Digital rights management

    Orphan works

    “We hope musicians and those interested in the music industry will take advantage of this exciting new resource,” Sohn said.
