Music industry executives have been the main gatekeepers in
determining what music is available to consumers since the advent
of the gramophone. As major record labels have become more highly
consolidated, there has been an increasing concentration of those
who determine what music is available for consumption. With the
development of online music distribution, a gap has formed where
independent artists can distribute their music by bypassing the
costly hard media distribution system. This book explores how the
Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is used by the
major record labels to limit the access that independent
artists/labels have to consumers through the internet. It argues
that in the process through which the music industry works to
co-opt and commodify genres of music, the music is (de) politicized
to appeal to a larger audience. This study is geared towards those
interested in the music industry, commodification and intellectual
property policies.
