> CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
>
> Recording devices, and digital technologies in particular, turn prior
recorded sound into the raw material for new work. Samplers have replaced
electric guitars as tools of the trade for many musicians; remixes and sonic
collage are musical staples from the Top 40 to obscure electronica and
hip-hop.
>
> But the law has not looked kindly upon unauthorized sampling. In the first
sampling-based copyright infringement case, the court's opinion began with
scripture - "Thou shalt not steal" - and ended with a referral for criminal
prosecution.
>
> Is recorded sound simply private property, and is its re-use simply theft?
Or is recorded sound the raw material of creative expression, a resource
without which artists' voices would be stifled? Sampling raises copyright
law's characteristic tensions: the sound recording is both private property,
enabling an author or musician to get paid for her work, and an element of
communication and culture. But the fair use doctrine, statutory compulsory
licensing, and the First Amendment, which may permit unauthorized creative
re-use of copyrighted materials in other cases, have never been brought to
bear on sampling. The only clearly legal sample is an authorized sample.
>
> The Music and Theft conference will bring together artists and experts on
the technological foundations and the artistic and cultural implications of
sampling, along with experts on copyright law and licensing arrangements, to
discuss ways in which the law does and should affect sample-based music.
>
> SCHEDULE
>
> First Panel: The Technology
> Room 3043
>
> Musicians on this panel will demonstrate the digital manipulation of
preexisting recordings and MIDI files and discuss the impact of digital
technology on music production and music theory. An experienced music
attorney will discuss the legal consequences of the particular practices
demonstrated by the musicians, as well as the law's overall responses to
digital music.

> Second Panel: The Culture

production, legal theory, and legal practice.
