The Gray Tuesday action

The Gray Tuesday action was a reaction made by thousands of people as an electronic civil disobedience, their goal was to restructure the music industry. To justify the Grey Tuesday action I would say that it should be legal to use someone’s work as a base to create something even better, as long as the owner of the first product agrees, in the case of this album,  Jay-Z’s, Paul McCartney’s and Ringo Starr’s approved the Project. As we discussed in the classroom the open source software are great examples, if the first Linux that was created in 1991 was not open source we will never have all this great operating systems that we enjoy today.

I think that in terms of property, the Grey Tuesday raise a lot of questions the most important one is who really owns the artistic product, the artist who made it like Jay-Z , Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, or EMI the copy rights holder of The Beatles, who tried to cease distribution the Gray album.
