Did you miss FMC's Policy Day? Watch the webcast or read the live tweeting! This year has already seen a host of policy developments that will affect the entire music ecosystem - from the FCC’s authority to regulate the internet to international copyright concerns to the impact of health care reform on the music community. D.C. Policy Day 2010 brought these issues into focus through informed presentations and panel discussions. A live webcast brought the conversation to a global audience of artists, academics, industry professionals, journalists, music fans and more.
Future of Music Coalition is a national nonprofit organization that works to ensure a diverse musical culture where artists flourish, are compensated fairly for their work, and where fans can find the music they want.
Founded in June 2000 by musicians, artist advocates, technologists and legal experts, Future of Music Coalition works to ensure that musicians have a voice in the issues that affect their livelihood. FMC's work is rooted in the real-world experiences and ambitions of working musicians, whose perspectives are often overlooked in policy debates. Over the years, FMC has provided an important forum for discussion about issues at the intersection of music, technology, policy and law. Guided by a firm conviction that public policy has real impact on the lives of both musicians and fans, FMC advocates for a balanced approach to music in the digital age -- one that reflects the interests of all stakeholders, and not just the powerful few.
