<h5>Written &amp; First Proposed by<a href="http://www.iamweinnovations.com"> IAMwe Innovations.<br /><br /></a></h5>
<p>We strongly believe that change begins with <a href="http://OliveOrg.com">service and community</a>. &nbsp;The music industry has suffered a serious blow, but just as an <a href="http://oliveorg.com/about/">olive tree</a> can grow again following a fire, so can our industry. &nbsp;At <em>The Restoring Music Foundation</em>, we attempt to analyze the industry through a new scope and together begin the re-growth process. &nbsp;We are simply musicians and music lovers joined for change in the name of art and our right to pursue it. <br /><br />Several issues affect the current recording industry crisis, however at the core is music piracy. The option to steal is here to stay. &nbsp;Up until now we have been battling the behavior, one lawsuit at a time. &nbsp;Yet the truth is, it can never be fully policed as long as we live in a free country that values the privacy of its citizens. &nbsp;The true battle is in the mind. &nbsp;We must all commit to change our thinking. &nbsp;We must unite to restore.<br /><br />Everyone has to do their part. &nbsp;Professionals do their part by adopting new models that give incentive for fans to buy. &nbsp;Artists do their part by spreading the notion of change. Music fans MUST commit to buying music.&nbsp; There is a difference between sharing and stealing.&nbsp; <strong>Educate yourself!</strong>&nbsp; And most importantly, we must ALL commit to think outside the box, analyze the problems, and work together for new solutions.&nbsp; Together we can build a foundation for change and restoration.</p>
<p><strong>Sign the declaration. Commit to change.</strong></p>
