Thread Name: Who Owns Trad Music - NFLD
Subject: RE: Who Owns Trad Music - NFLD
I would not at all assume this is about people with money getting more money. I know many of the people involved and they are exactly what the announcement says: musicians, archivists, scholars, etc. It seems to me more likely that this is about strategies to prevent big wealthy companies from exploiting folk musicians and traditions.
