Free as in freedom for music .
Posted on 3rd April 2006 by TaggyThe world today is bound by so many rules.I try taking a leaf out of the revolutionary movement which started at MIT and given this world a a very powerful ,free Operating system and coming with it a great set of tools.I realise Free software is more about the philosophy and the changes it wants to bring in to this world than the software itself.I am curious if this can be applied to Music too.
Iam a to-be-engineer and my life has pretty much revolved around it.
And always a big fan of both technology and music.Neither of these work without the other for me.
And hence i try to find a correlation between these two .I believe very firmly in the philosophy of Free software and opensource movement.Its not about technology or
software that motivates me, its the underlying objective and the goals it attempts to realise
I feel much better when iam able to share my codes or applications that i like to use with my friends without being worried about the copyrights.What if the law catches up with me ?.
Imagine a world where in a child is being reprimanded simply coz he shared his favourite cartoon serial with his friend,simply because the copyright notice makes him a
Music as everyone calls it, has become a very important part of our lives.Everyone listens to some music and he feels better everytime he does it.Sometimes it soothes you,sometimes it inspires you , sometimes it make you think.
When there is so much importance attached to it? why not apply the same model applied to Software to Music too.
An open model of music where in people create music and put up for downloads giving the user to share it with anyone he wants to. A free flow of music or sounds that can motivate people , that can make people think , that can make people smile.
I realise when i say this ,it cuts down heavily on the income of people.For today music is a thriving industry.But wait ! somewhere i did say .The philosophy of free software movement is more about the philosophy than the technology it aspires to change.
Music is more about the people it managed to reach than the people who create it.
Imagine a time when we don’t have to wait outside a music shop to but the music that is supposed to be great or a creative juice.Never mind the day when you can upload your favourite song on the net and let everyone appreciate it.
Free music can go a long way in bringing man down to humanity ,in chase of commerce , there is a deep fear inside me that makes me think we are running away from what it is.
Iam not sure of how much it manages to affect the creator or the authors income.But iam sure there would be people who believe there is something great about FREE Free as in freedom .
