I might check this out. Though I worry it will be a lot of "make music that record companies want so you'll make lots of moneys and you can hang out with Pete Wentz and talk about how cool your bangs look."
Quote from: Groklaw member ExcludedMiddleBut possibly the most interesting thing about the book is that it could not have existed without the Creative Commons. We gave away the original version from our website as a PDF, under a CC license that let people share it freely, non-commercial. Without this sharing, we would never have been noticed by Billboard magazine, who wrote an article about the PDF. This was followed by the Associated Press. And, next thing we knew, a publisher was interested.
I have a feeling that if you exchange the word "book" for "album", "PDF" for "MP3" and "publisher" for "record label", this is pretty much what will be in said book, in a nutshell.
