Music and Law

"The chapters in this volume present social-science and legal perspectives on various conditions and implications of the connection between music and law. In view of recent developments in internet technology and changes in the music industry, the legal issues posed by music as a form of artistic expression have become more urgent to be addressed than ever before. The chapters deal with a multitude of legal issues of music, including copyright violations, normative frameworks to address piracy, and other forms of deviance, prison iconography in pop music, and revealing of the nexus between the legal and the artistic. Unrestricted with respect to theoretical approach and methodological orientation, the chapters in this volume are usefully diverse in addressing various dimensions of music and law. The context of analysis of the chapters is also decidedly comparative and international. Students and scholars in law, music, sociology, and business will be able to benefit from the insights presented in this volume"--Unedited summary from book cover.
