05 December 2011

In this session of The Hip-Hop Dialogues we talk about copyright, royalties and approaches to promoting your music.

Date: Saturday, 10th December, 2011
Time: 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
Venue: Cape Town Library

Our speakers:
* Nothando Migogo (MD, Dramatic, Artistic & Literary Rights Organisation -- DALRO) 
* Max Kaizen (Public Lead, Creative Commons, ZA).

* Peter Theunissen (Cape Music Industry Commission -- Cape MIC)

These questions offer a ball park for the discussion:

1. Are record deals poison?
2. Do I need a lawyer? How accessible is legal advice?
3. Is administering royalties difficult?
4. What support mechanisms are there for musicians?
5. How do we build a supportive music industry? Should we even think of it as an industry? What other ways are there to think about our passion for music?
