The music department must adhere to strict copyright laws when offering students full access to its extensive digital MP3 music library. Because the school owns the music department iPods--each one has a silver decal on the back that proclaims "Property of Shepherd University"--and the music samples cannot be copied to any other device, no rules are broken.

Dream Girls," set in the 1960s and '70s, revolves in a turbulent world of changing music, quaking racial boundaries and shady copyright laws. The cast of musicians fights to crossover from the exclusivity of the black soul charts to the mixed-race, predominantly white, pop charts.
After an award-winning movie with an all-star cast with the likes of Beyonce Knowles and Jamie Foxx, and a long-running Broadway musical, "Dream Girls" is a tall order for a local theater troupe to tackle. Charleston Light Opera Guild does not disappoint. With minimal props the guild depends mainly on the talent of their actors and orchestra. Their confidence is well founded with tight harmonies and electric dance numbers. Dream Girls is a hit worthy of a professional show.

NEW YORK, March 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Social Science Research Council released the first independent, large-scale study of music, film and software piracy in emerging economies, with a focus on Brazil, India, Russia, South Africa, Mexico and Bolivia.
Based on three years of work by almost thirty-five researchers, Media Piracy in Emerging Economies tells two overarching stories: one tracing the explosive growth of piracy as digital technologies became cheap and ubiquitous around the world, and another following the growth of industry lobbies that have reshaped laws and law enforcement around copyright protection. The report argues that these efforts have largely failed, and that the problem of piracy is better conceived as a failure of affordable access to media in legal mar...

For Adorno the habit of listening to long-range musical thought, in which themes are subjected to extended melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic development, is connected to the ability to live beyond the moment, to transcend the search for instant gratification, to set aside the routines of the consumer society, with its constant pursuit of the "fetish," and to put real values in the place of fleeting desires. Musical idioms don't come in sealed packets, with no relation to the rest of human life. [...] when a particular kind of music surrounds us in public spaces, when it invades every café, bar, and restaurant, when it blares at us from passing motor cars and dribbles from the open taps of radios and iPods all over the planet, the critic may seem to stand like the apocryphal King Canute ...

A copyright system is designed to produce an ecology that nurtures the creation, dissemination, and enjoyment of works of authorship. When it works well, it encourages creators to generate new works, assists intermediaries in disseminating them widely, and supports readers, listeners, and viewers in enjoying them. If the system poses difficult entry barriers to creators, imposes demanding impediments on intermediaries, or inflicts burdensome conditions and hurdles on readers, then the system fails to achieve at least some of its purposes. The current U.S. copyright statute is flawed in all three respects. In this Article, I explore how the current copyright system is failing its intended beneficiaries. The foundation of copyright law’s legitimacy, I argue, is built on its evident ...
