2008

The Future of Music Coalition took their “Rock the Net” Campaign [1] to Chicago, educating local musicians about their stake in the net neutrality fight and other issues during the Hideout Block Party and "What's the Future for Musicians?" seminar presented during OneWebDay [2]. Illinois PIRG [3] volunteers tabled at the Block Party on Saturday. The seminar, which took place at the Old Town School of Folk Music — a 50 year-old music education institution, was well-attended and well-received, with participants engaging expert panelists and presenters on a wide range of subjects including new revenue streams for musicians, digital promotion and distribution services, podcasting and webcasting, the "greening" of music and much more.
