For those who couldn't read the last email, here it is in a more prozaic 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) and Creative Commons Australia (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 further information, please contact Elliott Bledsoe at elliott AT creativecommons.org.au or (07) 3138 9597 or Jessica Coates jessica AT creativecommons.org.au on you can phone us on (07) 3138 8301.
 
Kind regards,
 
Elliott Bledsoe
 
Please feel free to pass this invite around.
