Well, I am in an experimenting phase myself. I write lyrics. (other things

I have some spoken word stuff up on the internet archive. Strangers have found
them and done stuff with them. For instance:

I like what Peter did with that. It got a spin on a college radio station in
Maryland yesterday. Made me very happy. I am going to try and get it in some
local clubs too.
I have started writing for two bands in a semi official way recently. One
local and one net based. We shall see how that goes.
I feel like I might be at somewhat of a disadvantage for some of the easier
models as I do not really perform.
If you are a musician and play gigs, you can get paid for playing ARR music
and for playing Free Music. Pay for play. One model.
Whoever you are, you can burn Free Music on CDs and try to sell them in your
town. Another model.
If you are in a band, you can cover Free Music and sell the CDs at your gigs.
Another model.
Any other ideas anyone? (Before I run on too much here.)
all the best,

3. All of this
still seems to rest on the supposition that full copyright
/ all rights reserved plans will be the only game in town. I am
personally interested in the Free and Copyleft music models for income
producing for artists.
This is a great article.
I would like to find out more about these models. Copyright registration,
administration and getting income from ASCAP and such may cost more than it
is worth in many forums. A mega-hit (big label, big name, big budget, lewd
pictures, etc.) may profit in this schema. The rest of us?
Want to be really idealistic and honest? Music is a gift from G-d. His is
the true copyright. So for those who do believe and stand on that belief,
alternative models may just be in order. Tell me more.
