[Dixielandjazz] Where will the music be seen/heard?

On a slight tangent from the gist of the article Steve posted on this  topic. 
 My crystal ball indicates that copyright laws that in any way  resembles 
what's been in the last 100 years will not exist in the foreseeable  future.  
Feeling philosophical this a.m.  But if one looks at what's  been happening on 
Planet Earth since we've been here, it is a steady  progression of individuals 
who will, by god, find a way to share and communicate  without waiting for the 
rule on how they can do so.  Gives me hope!
 
Yes, I know folks may need, and they certainly want, protection of  
intellectual property as a means to access money and resources.  But  just maybe we 
need to keep sticking our heads further out of the box as to how  we can protect 
and provide resources sans copyright law.  Look at how much  unions have 
changed, and for many, became irrelevant, in this same time  period.  When you look 
around what do you see replacing them?   Something is, or you wouldn't be 
working and eating.
