contents Oldies, Music Rights, and the Digital Age McDonald, Peter Intellectual Property Music Court Litigation Copyrights Income Computer Software Audio Equipment The author discusses the issue of copyright, oldies, and digital preservation. He examines efforts being made to create digital sound repositories for music record prior to 1970 at such places as Yale, Syracuse, the New York Public Library, and the Library of Congress. These issues are explored by contrasting the music industry's concern for loss of revenue due to illegal file-sharing versus sound archivists' and the educational/scholarly world's desire for and rights to fair use access to older sound recordings. The article details efforts by the Library of Congress' National Recording Preservation Board and Syracuse's Belfer Audio Archive and Laboratory to bridge the divide between the preservationists and the industry in an atmosphere of healthy debate and common goal-setting, defining a set of synergistic opportunities that will help the two groups to become allies rather than adversaries in developing a streamlined rights model. (Contains 2 notes.)
