数码时代音乐人的版权保卫战

    丽娜说：“很有意思的是，很多人认为，有音乐听是一件理所应当的事。我们不妨想象一下，如果开车的时候没有音乐，或者看电影的时候没有音乐是什么样子。”丽娜强调，科技公司必须要明白，这项内容并不是免费的。“我知道当你创作出某些东西后，你希望能掌控它。但是没有音乐，他们根本制作不出自己的产品。”

    目前流媒体贡献的版税很低，音乐人的大部分收入还是来自广播和电视等媒体。威廉姆斯称：“传统版税仍然是最坚实的来源。”

Renea stresses that technology companies have to understand that content is not free. " I know what it's like when you create something and you want control over it," she says. "Without the music, they wouldn't have the product to sell."
