form:
Hello all, here is an event that CCau is running. If you're in Brisbane on
the day we would love to see you. Flyer attached.

The ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation
(http://www.cci.edu.au <http://www.cci.edu.au/> ) and Creative Commons
Australia (http://creativecommons.org.au <http://creativecommons.org.au/> )
are pleased to invite you to the CCau Music Industry Forum.
The forum, which will be run as a part of Apple University Consortium's
Create World 2007 conference, is designed to provide a forum for the
discussion of issues surrounding music licensing in Australia. It will take
place from 2.00 till 4.00pm on Wednesday 28 November 2007 at the Queensland
College of Art, Griffith University, Brisbane.
The digital environment presents new opportunities for musicians and new
business models for the distribution and promotion of music. Creative
Commons has gained considerable favour with content producers world-wide,
but the legalities and practicalities of releasing music under these
licences can be complicated, particularly when combining them with other
licensing models (for further information visit
www.creativecommons.org.au/musicinfo).
The CCau Music Industry Forum aims to bring together industry
representatives and interested parties to discuss issues such as:
. potential online distribution models for musicians and the music
industry,
. compatibility issues with current collective licensing schemes; and
. legal and practical issues relating to the use of Creative Commons
licences by Australian songwriters, composers and musicians.
The forum also aims to gather feedback regarding the current understanding
of and attitudes towards copyright, open content licensing and Creative
Commons within the Australian music industry whilst providing an opportunity
for key music industry personnel in to learn more about these topics.
Creative Commons Australia is the Australian arm of the international
Creative Commons project, a non-profit organisation that aims to promote
flexible copyright options for creators. At the core of the Creative Commons
projects is a suite of licences, freely available to creators, that foster
sharing and collaboration. Creative Commons builds upon the "all rights
reserved" or traditional copyright to create a voluntary "some rights
reserved" system.
As you are currently involved or interested in the licensing of musical
works we would very much appreciate your participation in this forum.
Afternoon tea will be provided. Please RSVP by Friday 23 November 2007.
Please find attached a flyer providing the more details of the forum. For
