I Have To Say
I strongly believe that closed source proprietary media is bottle necking the potential
for our economy to grow. Proprietary media prevents the collaboration of thought and ideas between composer's of media. In general, media is derived from intellectual work, however proprietary media prevents this knowledge from being distributed. It is quite possible composer's are reinventing the wheel instead of expanding on already established ideas that could potentially revolutionise different areas of discipline. The Solution
Royals are one of the driving factors for proprietary media. The welfare of society heavily relies on this system. Although this is only a sugared coated excuse that composer's take pride in hiding behind. The majority of composer's disprove this notion of cause and effect, which contradicts the idea of less effort is equivalent to a greater income. My solution would be to look for alternatives where composer's can benefit off others work and also make an honest income. One suggestion, is that all source code should be freely available and royals should only be made through technical support. Like all different types media the context may change but essentially this approach could be easily adopted to different areas of discipline.

Hi Thomas, I'm a little confused about what you are referring to. Are talking about Creative Commons license opposes copyright and intellectual property when an artists work cannot be used without payment for use (royalties). I am confused also with Open Source software where it is free to use. What is the business model where one can receive payment for the time and effort to create such software? Ah I feel a blog coming on. All the best with Project B.
