FAIR MUSIC Manifesto
As a first step towards a more widely accepted standard of fair music, we have laid down the following seven aims of the FAIR MUSIC initiative. We strive for:
1. Unlimited freedom of musical expression.
2. Free access to musical expressions.
3. Justice of contract standards securing fair remuneration for the artists.
4. Adequate use of technology for a fair distribution of revenues instead of creating new monopolies.
5. Wide support for fairness and justice in the music business as key elements of cultural diversity.
6. Full recognition of the cultural character of musical products instead of limiting them to mere commercial artefacts.
7. A code of conduct for the music business, so that fairness and justice become the norm and not the exception.
You can sign the fair music manifesto: simply go to support the initiative and post a supporting statement.
