Go ahead, steal his music - N&O
"My mission is not to stop people from stealing," says Weiss, a music publisher for more than 40 years, "but to encourage them to do more of it."
Weiss, 62, co-teaches an arts entrepreneurship class at UNC-Chapel Hill nowadays, and he's done a little of everything in the business. But mostly he has worked in publishing - getting songs recorded and/or used in movies, commercials and so forth. And that gives him a perspective that is somewhat unusual.
