The value of an intellectual property (IP) regime to a developing country (or for that matter a developed country) is the subject of increasing debate. On one side IP evangelists argue that IP laws can stimulate untold innovation and provide a foundation for economic progress.

The music industry has been facing many problems lately especially those related to digital technology and the internet.
Lawrence Lessig, a leading scholar in cyberspace law argues that copyright law needs to be adaptive to the current situation. His provocative ideas have found application with the establishment of the creative commons organization.
The paper tries to give a better understanding of the creative commons movement and its relevance to the music industry. The paper will give an introduction to creative commons organizations, and the different licenses it offers especially those related to music. The main purpose of the research is to asses to what extent creative commons model offers better solutions and opportunities situated to the needs of the music industry. I will conclude the paper by providing my own assessment of the model and the movement in general. |
