Just discovered this article on the NPR Music website about sheet music piracy. I am not surprised that sheet music has the same issues and challenges as music. Jason Robert Brown, the owner of the work, is perfectly entitled to enforce his copyright but is that the right business model?

There are many examples of how the Internet has destroyed traditional and successful business models, such as the distribution of news, newspaper, movies and photographs etc. I like to focus on the business of music and the Internet as I have loved all (well not all, but most) genre of music for decades and also because I believe that there are opportunities for the music business to re-make itself to take advantage of technology.
Some interesting articles just published in the LA Times here and here. And one more here with a photo of Iggy Pop.
No time to write now as I am off to Singapore in a few hours having spent the last couple of weeks in Tokyo and Seattle.
