SUMMARY:Workshop: Back to the Basics – Deconstructing Intellectual Proper
 ty Protection for Music
DESCRIPTION:Recent legal disputes regarding music have revolved around the 
 question whether the new song is too similar to an existing song and thus 
 constitutes copyright infringement. This raises several questions: What ca
 n be monopolized by intellectual property law? Is the “sound and feel”
  of a song protected by copyright? When are chord progressions so commonly
  used that they are in the public domain? And what does it mean for the br
 oader picture to think of music as an intellectual property?\n\nIntellectu
 al property law covers musical works and sounds on several levels – from
  copyright and related rights to a possible protection for industrial prop
 erty. Some of the fundamental concepts of this multi-layered protection - 
 such as its notions of originality\, authorship\, and the work of art itse
 lf - have been significantly challenged by boundary-expanding artistic pra
 ctices. Further\, the technological possibilities of copying and processin
 g continue to transform. Against this backdrop\, the question remains: In 
 what way does intellectual property law foster or hinder creativity? In sh
 aping the field of musical forms and the practices of musical allusion and
  appropriation\, intellectual property law is generative as well as prohib
 itive. But does the current legal regime and its underlying rationale stil
 l fit the role of authors and producers in the digital age?\nWorkshop: Bac

 sic\n19.04.2018 | 2-6 PM | HIIG | Französische Straße 9 | 10117 Berlin\n

  digital society.\n\nPlease note that the workshops are not open for publi
