Owning the Masters: An In-Depth History of Sound Recording Copyright
Sound recording copyright is a vital component of the recording industry, serving as the foundation upon which it operates. Unlike traditional manufacturing industries, this industry is centered around the creation, exploitation, and protection of rights. The development and control of these rights have been complex and contentious, with record companies playing a central role in lobbying for their interests.
This book delves into the lobbying activities of record companies, exploring their efforts to establish and maintain control over sound recording copyright. It also examines the counter-activity of recording artists, particularly those who have challenged the legislative and contractual practices of record companies to claim their master rights. Additionally, the book explores the role of the listening public, many of whom have been labeled as "pirates" for trespassing on these rights.
The public's involvement in shaping copyright legislation is significant, as it helps to determine the economic, artistic, and political value of recorded sound. Understanding the complexities of sound recording copyright is essential for anyone interested in the music industry, as it impacts the way artists create, distribute, and monetize their work.
In conclusion, Owning the Masters provides a comprehensive and insightful examination of sound recording copyright, shedding light on the complex dynamics between record companies, recording artists, and the listening public. It is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the economic, artistic, and political value of recorded sound.
