Hello: Studio For Recording, Inc., wishes to announce that it has initiated a 
Repository Collection to be located at the University of North Carolina's 
Ibiblio.org.  The address is: http://www.ibiblio.org/studioforrecording/ 

Our main web site is beginning to fill in, and can be visited at: 
http://www.studioforrecording.org/

This is an Open Source Project dedicated to broadening the base of Public 
Domain works.  The organization fulfills its mission by providing a model for 
creating community-based recording studios that provide FREE recording 
services for members of the community.  In return, participants agree to 
place their works in the Public Domain.

It is also important to note that these young [and old and established] 
artists and musicians will also have guidance and assistance in collaborating 
with and using the resources of Lawrence Lessig's Creative Commons Project.  
There is new ground-breaking in this area, and studioforrecording.org is 
pleased to be able to explore alternatives to our present Music Industry 
professional track.

The Internet provides an opportunity for individuals/bands to market their 
products, to engage in business strategies that don't depend on producers and 
record labels to be successful.  To this end, we encourage you and your 
readers to visit our "Model" and possibly draw from it to expand and develop 
other successful Internet business models.
Respectfully,
Tom Poe
