MAC week 1 Copyright

There are so many musicians and artists that are on then fence with copyright issues. On one hand they want everyone to listen to or watch what they have done and on the other hand they want to get paid for it. It is always easier to give a product away and free samples do create demand in a market. The fact is that the ownership of a tangible product has to remain in the control of person(s) that create it. I love to share and exchange ideas with fellow teachers and musicians, but if there is an opportunity to get paid for my idea or creation I don't want a computer savvy genius to receive payments because he has developed a market using my music for free.
