About Rock the Net
Network Neutrality -- or Net Neutrality -- is the principle that preserves a free and open Internet. Net neutrality ensures that all users can access the content, or run the applications and devices of their choice.
Rock the Net is a nationwide coalition of musicians and labels that support net neutrality. We come together to demonstrate to Congress and the FCC the music community's broad support for this principle. As musicians and entrepreneurs, we understand the importance of treating all websites and online music stores equally -- from the busiest music website to the smallest blog. We urge Congress to support network neutrality.
Rock the Net is organized and managed collaboratively by the Future of Music Coalition, Noise Pop and Zeitgeist Artist Management. Funding for the project has been generously provided by the Proteus Fund's Media Democracy Fund.
