SOUND PROPERTY? INVESTIGATING THE LEGAL STATUS OF SOUND RECORDINGS
AN INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE ON MUSIC & COPYRIGHT
UNIVERSITY OF SALFORD
28 - 29 MAY 2009
This conference proposes to investigate the current U.S. and U.K. statutes that regulate the protection of sound recordings. It will inquire to what degree those laws secure the rights of both the owners and creators of the music contained on these products as well as determine their impact upon those who consume and comment upon this material. The pending efforts to universalize an extended term of copyright underscore the potential for even more draconian controls upon recorded music. Will the public, creators, and commentators continue to be able to acquire, appreciate and appropriate musical materials? Can some balance be found between the need for profit and the pursuit of pleasure? Is it possible in a civil society for music effectively to be silenced through constraints over its recorded legacy?
Keynote Speakers Include:
Nicholas Cook, University of Cambridge. Music: A Very Short Introduction & Music, Imagination & Culture
Simon Frith, University of Edinburgh Taking Popular Music Seriously; Sound Effects; Editor, Music & Copyright
Kembrew McLeod, University of Iowa Freedom of Expression: Resistance & Repression in the Age of Intellectual Property; Owning Culture: Ownership, Authorship & Intellectual Property
