Owning the Masters provides the first in-depth history of sound
recording copyright. It is this form of intellectual property that
underpins the workings of the recording industry. Rather than being
focused on the manufacture of goods, this industry is centred on
the creation, exploitation and protection of rights. The
development and control of these rights has not been
straightforward. This book explores the lobbying activities of
record companies: the principal creators, owners and defenders of
sound recording copyright. It addresses the counter-activity of
recording artists, in particular those who have fought against the
legislative and contractual practices of record companies to claim
these master rights for themselves. In addition, this book looks at
the activities of the listening public, large numbers of whom have
been labelled 'pirates' for trespassing on these rights. The public
has played its own part in shaping copyright legislation. This is
an essential subject for an understanding of the economic, artistic
and political value of recorded sound.
