GUEST,Howard Jones | The Myth of Ownership (42) | RE: The Myth of Ownership | 17 Nov 14 |
As an observation, the systems for handling copyright are based on music-industry practices, with the assumption that copyright will belong to a "publisher". It assumes that the composer will have contracted with a publisher. Similarly with recordings, the system assumes this belongs to the producer, and the musicians are mere employees. This doesn't reflect reality in the independent music sector as a whole, let alone in the world of traditional music. |
