.MUSIC (dotMusic) - More than just a Great Sounding Web Address

.MUSIC (dotMusic) is the exclusive, global community-based Top-Level Domain (TLD) name that gives music entities a unique identity online and a verified industry standard for official music websites. The specialized .MUSIC web address enhances a brand's visibility online. It ensures that .MUSIC websites are associated with a memorable, self-explanatory and trusted badge restricted to the music community: www.YourName.music

The music industry has shifted from a physical to a digital world. The Internet has become the first truly global distribution channel for all music artists by providing them with the unique opportunity to connect with fans, new audiences and exciting business prospects.

The .MUSIC domain paves the way for the next-generation of the Internet and the future of music, by building a home to everything related to music. Since 2005, under the slogan “We Are Music,” .MUSIC has embarked upon a global communication outreach campaign to launch the .MUSIC Top-Level Domain name and its Initiative. The .MUSIC Initiative’s mission is focused on:

• Music education and the study of music in school curriculum;
• Fighting piracy and protecting trademarks & music intellectual capital;
• Musicians' welfare, rights & fair compensation;
• Enriching society with artistic & cultural diversity by promoting global music;
• Innovation in both the music and Internet space

.MUSIC will contribute proceeds from its domain name registrations to select trusted not-for-profit organizations that support its music community mission, core values and 5 initiatives.

Join musicians, artists, bands, songwriters, composers, producers, industry professionals, music companies, trade organizations, digital aggregators, government arts councils, educational institutions & millions of supporters of the .MUSIC initiative to help the music community. Sign the petition:
