Law & Order: Sheet Music Task Force

A few weeks ago, composer Jason Robert Brown blogged about his campaign against online sheet music traders, including an interesting email exchange between him and an aspiring teenage performer who was trading his music through a popular website. Last week, he published an editorial in the NY Times on the same topic.

I wound up writing Jason an email about some of the underlying policy issues at stake, primarily the challenge of continuing to foster creativity in artists like him while also allowing the public to fully take advantage of information technology. Parts of that email, and his responses, are now up on his blog.
