LINER NOTES

Music has always been a craft of borrowing. In traditional, or folk, music, melodies and lyrics were handed down from generation to generation. At every stage, musicians would change the tune or substitute words at will, adapting songs to their own situations.

Like their predecessors, the artists featured here have drawn from the music around them–whether by borrowing a guitar riff or taking a digital sample–to create something new. But unlike their folk ancestors, they all run the risk of getting sued.

Two technologies, separated by centuries, have brought us to this point. First, writing and printing gave birth to the composer and the idea that a single person could own a piece of music. Second, sound recording allowed music performances to be stored and replayed–again, permitting an individual (or a company) to claim it as property.

These two kinds of musical property are reflected in present-day copyright law: “publishing rights” apply to the ownership of written music and “master rights” apply to the ownership of a recording of that music. When you use a portion of someone else’s recording of a song, you need permission from the publisher and “clearance” from the owner of that recording. When you record without these permissions–and the exorbitant fees that go with them–you’re in trouble. Not surprisingly, only a few musicians, like Puff Daddy and Fatboy Slim, can afford to sample legally.

For our culture to be a space for free expression and for creativity to flourish, audio artists must be able to build on bits and pieces of preexisting music. While the “fair use” doctrine allows artists to appropriate other works, it does so only in cases of commentary or parody. Fair use doesn’t apply to the majority of “second-takers,” those artists who reuse sounds without directly referring to the original.

Most of these tracks would never have existed if the artists had adhered to copyright law. Many other works might never be heard unless we act soon to grant artists the right to create them.
