Digital Rights Awareness

Digital Rights Awareness is an eight-episode journey through the evolving relationship between music, technology, and law. From the birth of authors’ rights to the rise of platforms, data infrastructures, and artificial intelligence, the series explores how every technological shift reshapes the way music is created, distributed, and valued. Along the way, it unpacks the legal frameworks that govern creativity today, from international treaties and EU regulation to collective management, licensing models, metadata systems, and the emerging challenges of generative AI.

Designed for creators, professionals, and anyone curious about how the digital music ecosystem really works, the course combines clear explanations with real-world insights from the Fair MusE project. Each episode builds on the previous one, revealing how questions of access, visibility, remuneration, and fairness are deeply interconnected. Whether you watch the full series or start with a single topic, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how rights, data, and platforms shape today’s music economy, and why fairness, like music itself, must be constantly re-composed.
