This fitness music genre is ripe for entrepreneurs. I wonder if there is a fitness/gym version of Muzak - the ubiquitous elevator music remade for gyms. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/178#post-466 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 10:38:23 +0000 Anonymous 466@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>This is an opportunity I thought for Creative Commons artists to approach Fitness program providers, such as Les Mills and offer their work. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/178#post-434 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:33:55 +0000 Early Learning Toys 434@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>It will be interesting to see how this pans out, because I can see the majority of smaller gyms not even changing the music they play.</p> <p>How the PPCA plans on enforcing it will be interesting indeed... </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/178#post-384 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 23:53:06 +0000 Jacket 384@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>This is an opportunity I thought for Creative Commons artists to approach Fitness program providers, such as Les Mills and offer their work.<br /> The Les Mills latest CD offering had only 50% PPCA controlled works - if that becomes 100% then Creative Commons licenced music may have a new market.</p> <p> I agree that the increase in fees is off the scale, and the fitness industry would be better off approaching Artists directly! Creative Commons is being promoted by the PPCA putting its fees up!</p> <p>Jack </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/178#post-357 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:50:12 +0000 Yagan Kiely 357@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Or they will merely use copyright free music, or live music.</p> <p>The increase in fees is laughable, especially when virtually none of the money ends up in the Artist's hands. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/178#post-346 Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:24:39 +0000 Jacket 346@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Hi all,<br /> interesting issue in the Australian fitness industry - local music rights controller Phonographic Performance Company of Australia (PPCA) are wanting to increase the fees they charge the industry.</p> <p>If however the industry or even a particular gym simply chose instead to use appropriately CC licenced music, possibly even opting to pay some fees direct to the artists they have downloaded could provide them an out.<br /> The proposal will see an increase in fees from the industry go from $1.5 million a year to $100 million a year!</p> <p><a href="http://www.taxonfitness.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.taxonfitness.org</a></p> <p>I immediately thought of Creative Commons artists...</p> <p>Jack@! </p>
