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:
Alternative methods of distribution
Remedies for copyright infringement
Device makers and infringement
Internet service providers and infringement
“We hope musicians and those interested in the music industry will take advantage of this exciting new resource,” Sohn said.
