Initiative
The fair music Initiative
fair music is the first global initiative for fairness and justice in the music business. It strives to create awareness for the importance of fair music and to strengthen the position of both artists and music listeners worldwide. The aim is also to maintain cultural diversity during the current processes of modernization.
Something is wrong in the Music World
Music fans have a right to listen to the exact music they want to. Creative artists have a right to receive recognition and compensation for their work and ideas. Listeners assume the money they spend for music will benefit the artists of their choice. But can they really be assured that the artists receive their fair share of the proceeds, and that the artists are allowed to make their music in a free and creative atmosphere and under fair conditions? No, the listeners can not be sure, mostly the background of music production is completely in-transparent and leaves hardly any share for the artists.
What the fair music initiative does for more fairness
Alongside the UNESCO declaration on cultural diversity, involving stakeholders from all over the world and the whole music business, Fair Music will establish standards, so that the listener can be sure, that the artists gets their fair share of every CD bought and every song downloaded and have complete artistic freedom of expression.
There is a lot you can do:
- support the fair music initiative
- contribute your ideas, thoughts and visions of fairness in music
