[Commlist] New Book: Owning the Masters

Richard Osborne's new book,/Owning the Masters: A History of Sound 
Recording Copyright/was published by Bloomsbury yesterday. It tells the 
story of how this form of copyright was developed and claimed by the 
recording industry, and how recording artists are fighting back to claim 
this copyright for themselves. The book also looks at how this copyright 
has been applied to different forms of distributing music – physical 
products, radio, downloading, streaming – and how it shapes and is being 
shaped by our digital age. As the blurb says, ‘This is an essential 
subject for an understanding of the economic, artistic and political 
value of recorded sound’.

Just like music, the book comes in a variety of formats: hardback, 
paperback,
