[ANPPOM-L] CFP: Sound Property?

[Carlos Palombini]

CALL FOR PAPERS: Sound Property? Investigating the Legal Status of Sound
Recordings
An Interdisciplinary Conference on Music & Copyright

University of Salford, UK

February 18-19, 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?

Proposals are solicited that address the current U.S. and U.K. statutes; the
impact of these laws upon writing and teaching about music; the impact of
these laws upon musical creators and consumers; and the relationship between
legal controls over recorded sound and issues of public policy and the needs
of a civil society.

Conference papers will be organized into panel sessions of 2 hours, each
comprising three 25-minute presentations with time for discussion. Proposals
may be submitted either for individual papers or for organized panel
sessions of three papers and a chair.

Proposals are welcome and encouraged from a variety of disciplinary
perspectives, (including but certainly not limited to law, economics,
sociology, music, popular music studies, history, cultural studies, film and
television studies etc.) and from those with professional perspectives
related to the subject (performers, producers, composers, lawyers,
executives etc.).

Efforts are being made to incorporate responses from the corporate sector in
addition to that of commentators, both from the academy and the public
arena. Also, final plans may well include both a concert by musicians whose
work depends upon the manipulation of pre-existent recordings as well as
showings of films about these issues and those that employ a cinematic
re-mixing of visual and acoustic sources.

Proposals of at least 250 and no more than 500 words should be sent to David
Sanjek before December 17th Acceptance of papers and a final programme will
be announced in late December.
