jazzweek.com • May 15, 2006 JazzWeek 9 Industry Q&A: Jean Cook, Outreach Director, Future Of Music Coalition

e here at JazzWeek have been riffing about new technology and the future of jazz with a number of different people Wworking in the digital realm. This week we get deep and a little wonky with Jean Cook. She does a great job describing what it is her group does, and how it intersects with the world of jazz. Suffice it to say, digital rights and issues pertaining to copyrights in the digital formats and technology fields is something that everyone needs to understand if they are to have any foresight about an industry that is in a state of flux. – Tad Hendrickson Can you give a brief rundown on the prime directives of Future Of Music? Future of Music Coalition is a national nonprofit education, research and advocacy organization that identifies, examines, interprets and translates the challenging issues at the intersection of music, law, technology and policy.

We’re interested in fostering informed critical debates to examine new business models, trends in technology, proposed legislation, and the general landscape for musicians. We do a three-day policy summit every year – this year in Mon- treal in early October – and also partner with other music organizations to put together panels on technology and policy, musician friendly policy fact sheets, and produce original research on topics like the effects of media consolidation on radio. Where do the interests of Future Of Music intersect with that of the jazz industry? When FMC first started, it was meant to help fill a gap in the policy debate continued ... jazzweek.com • May 15, 2006 JazzWeek 10 Industry Q&A: Jean Cook (continued)

where you were hearing from the lawyers, the technologists, the economists, the major labels, the radio stations, the unions, the national associations, but To me, very rarely independent musicians. To me, independent musicians are the folks independent who have made choices to stay close to the idea of music as culture and a way of life. And because these values have to be in balance with the profit mak- musicians are ing side of the music business, this is the area of the industry where you’ll find some really interesting and innovative business models. the folks who As for where our interests intersect, the overwhelming majority of jazz mu- have made sicians are independent, or are their own agents and managers. My guess is there aren’t a lot of resources available to the typical jazz musician who wants choices to stay to know how the system works and what their rights are in the area of copy- close“ to the idea right and especially in the digital world. Future of Music Coalition is a musician run organization. We care about policy and the big picture, and want to of music as help musicians to understand how it affects them. culture and a How about jazz radio? Future Of Music has done a lot of research, looking at the negative impact of way of life. radio consolidation on artists and citizens. You can see the executive summary of our first radio study at http://www.futureofmusic.org/research/radiostudy. cfm Right now, our research director Peter DiCola is crunching numbers in the process of updating the 2002 radio study. One of the interesting statistics he’s passed on is that there’s been a decline in full-time jazz stations in the last five years. In winter of 2001 there were 71 jazz stations, and in summer of 2005 there were only 56 jazz-only stations. This is accompanied by an increase from 11 to 23 of stations playing primarily jazz, but also featuring other programming. We’re going to be taking a closer look at the radio stories for jazz in the next year – places like Detroit and Chicago, where stations have recently lost jazz programming – and what these losses mean to these music communities. Have you done much outreach to the Jazz community of labels, radio stations, retailers and educators? We’ve just gotten started with the jazz community, really. I was hired in 2005 to specifically look at ways for FMC to with the jazz and classical communities, and we’re still in the mapping stages of our work. We’ve been reaching out to radio stations, presenters, labels, managers, and musicians to try and get a sense of how the issues we cover affect different areas of the jazz community. What can we do to get involved? As an individual, getting educated is probably the best first step to figuring out how you can help. And with this many issues there are literally hundreds of ways you can get involved – at whatever level you have time for. FMC’s website looks at dozens of policy issues from the music advocate’s perspective, and also has a newsletter with updates on the work we’re doing. continued ... jazzweek.com • May 15, 2006 JazzWeek 11 Industry Q&A: Jean Cook (continued)

Another is to volunteer. Most organizations working on these issues have volunteer opportunities to organize community forums, help with re- Media Reform information and advocacy http://www.freepress.net search and data crunching, or spreading the word. (See sidebar at left. – Ed.) What’s the situation with online radio and podcasts? Why are these held to a different set of rules than terrestrial radio? Are you working to balance it? I’ve said a lot already, and don’t know if you have enough space for me to get into the details of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (FMC has a primer on it here: http://www.futureofmusic.org/articles/DMCAprimer.cfm). But briefly, there are a lot of reasons why online radio, satellite radio, and music on cable is treated differently than terrestrial radio. I think a big part of it is that the companies who own the terrestrial radio business have a powerful broadcast lobby that is very influential in Congress and with the FCC. Regarding podcasts – I think once the copyright office sorts out whether downloads and streams should be treated the same way, a lot of the questions around licensing around podcasting will get cleared up. I should note that in response partly to the confusing licensing structures around podcasting, and also in part to the high profile RIAA lawsuits, you’ll see that independent musicians, record labels, and websites such as Magnatune (magnatune.com) and GarageBand (garageband.com) have started branding certain music “podsafe,” offering music specifically for use in podcasts, royalty free. The Low Power Radio Act is something you encourage. Why is it so important? In 1996 Congress passed the Telecomm Act, which, out of two hundred pag- es of bill, had a couple sentences eliminating the ownership caps for companies owning radio stations. Once restricted to owning 40 stations maximum, broadcast companies immediately started buying up radio stations and consoli- dating the market. ClearChannel, a billboard company, got seriously into the radio business and went from owning 40 stations before 1996 to over 1,200 radio stations today. This consolidation has led to a tremendous loss of diversity and local programming on the airwaves as broadcasters began automating playlists and looking continued ... jazzweek.com • May 15, 2006 JazzWeek 12 Industry Q&A: Jean Cook (continued)

at the radio business as a way to sell demographics to advertisers. Regional and local programming started disappearing. We support low power radio because Regarding these stations could be one of a combination of solutions that might reinvigo- podcasts – I rate an increasingly homogenized radio dial. What are some of the big issues regarding digital rights in the days, months think once the and years to come? copyright Well, there’s always Copyright Law. Copyright law was created in an attempt to balance the right of the public to access creative works, and the creators office sorts right to control who can make copies of their work (or make new works de- out whether rived from the creators’ original works). “downloads and What’s happening right now? The law was written in bits and pieces, and was revamped in 1976 for a world streams should where records are distributed through stores like Tower or Best Buy or Acad- emy Records, and music was performed on radio stations like WBGO and be treated the WKCR and in night clubs and theaters. In 1998 they updated it again with same way, a lot the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, while the Internet continued to develop at an exponential rate. Today we’re living in a world where there is very lit- of the questions tle difference between the experience of buying music from iTunes, download- ing a podcast with music on it, or streaming KEXP, and the copyright law still around licensing says that each of these three examples requires different types of legal struc- around tures of payments to compensate artists. Last year Copyright Registrar Marybeth Peters made a proposal to try and podcasting will streamline one part of the system; and just last week, a bipartisan bill was pro- get cleared up. posed in the Senate to beef up another section. Everyone has different opin- ions on the best way to update the copyright law – some call for more digital rights management, some for abolishing Harry Fox, the agency collecting me- chanical royalties for composers. Another overhaul is potentially in the works, and we’re keeping our eyes out for a better solution. What else? Another big picture issue is Media Consolidation, which I already talked about. If you want to get super big picture, there’s Net Neutrality. This year Congress is getting serious about beginning the debate over the legal and regulatory structures that will govern the Internet (and whatever follows “the Internet”). The basic story is this: the historic legal and regulatory structures governing the broadcast, telephone and cable industries have been outpaced by innovation. It really doesn’t make sense for different technologies offering the same basic services to have two entirely different sets of rules (not unlike how copyright law needs to be updated). So Congress has to figure out what to do. One of the biggest issues in this debate is the question of Net Neutrality. Basi- cally, what this means is that the Internet as we’ve come to know it is based on continued ... jazzweek.com • May 15, 2006 JazzWeek 13 Industry Q&A: Jean Cook (continued)

the idea that anyone can make their content available via the web (assuming that content is legal) and any consumer has the right to access that content via the Internet. Now, Congress has to decide whether that basic model should be the law, or whether Comcast, Verizon and the other corporations who control the broadband market should have the right to control the content that goes over their pipes. For example, if Congress makes the wrong decision, a broadband provider could negotiate with a number of music services to select a “preferred” provider – and block or limit consumers’ access to all other providers. So if Comcast has an exclusive relationship with iTunes, but your music is sold through CD Baby or off your own website, then it might be more difficult for new audiences to discover your music if you or CD Baby don’t also have exclusive relationships with Comcast. The telephone and cable companies argue that this is a paranoid view of how the market could develop; Future of Music and many others feel there’s more than enough precedent for corporations to maximize their bottom line in every conceivable way – and we’re not eager to simply trust them and hope for the best. So beyond policies that encourage access to these technologies for all citizens and a competitive marketplace that allows for innovation, it’s also important that creators have guarantees that they can access fans via the net without having to negotiate terms with major telephone and cable firms. Early on, you mentioned “innovative and interesting business models.” Can you give us an example of one that is working? CD Baby (cdbaby.com) was created by Derek Sivers, a musician who wanted to get his music out on the web. He learned about computer coding and websites and created a site where anyone could sell their CDs online, and built a back end that was really easy to use – sellers can see how many they’ve sold, get the names and addresses of people who have bought their CDs, see how many hits their CD Baby webpage is getting and where people are clicking through from, etc. Another thing that Derek did was that he started digitizing every CD that was sent to CD Baby for sale. Whenever the user decides they want to flip the switch, they can also make the music available digitally through places like iTunes, eMusic, Rhapsody, Napster, Sonyconnect, Verizon, and about 40 others. There is no minimum number of CDs you have to press to sell on CD Baby, and they treat artists and customers like human beings and have an amazing and responsive staff that listens to every single CD they sell. There’s a $35 start up cost per CD, and they take about $4 per CD you sell, and 9% of digital sales. It’s easy to get paid - they send you a check every time they owe you more than $25, as often as once a week. In less than ten years they’ve sold $25 million worth of independent CDs by almost 132,000 artists. In many of these cases, this is revenue that couldn’t have happened without CD Baby.
