Music (and Musicologies) in the 21st Century

Copyright of Oral-Tradition Music: a New Ethnographic Issue 

The issue of copyright has long been a subject of interest to ethnomusicologists, given that for a long time the international regulations did not provide particular guarantees for works that are the result of the oral tradition and shared creativity. In Italy, Diego Carpitella had already raised the issue in the 1970s, when he suggested how to find solutions to protect oral-tradition music involving the SIAE (the Italian copyright collecting agency) and, so also recognise the economic rights of the performers-creators of that kind of music. International organisations, such as UNESCO and the IMC, also reflected on possible solutions without arriving at satisfactory results, despite the numerous resolutions adopted at various international meetings, not least because similar kinds of resolutions have rarely been applied in the past. In the 1990s and 2000s, with the impetus of World Music, a new line of thought emerged, especially in the United States, aimed at protecting and recognising, also economically, the rights of non-European musicians on the record market and of mainstream artists performing popular music. It was pointed out how digital sampling and diffusion on the Internet was an enormous potential resource but also a great risk. In 2001, moreover, the issue in the context of World Music was tackled by the IISMC International Ethnomusicology Seminar curated by Francesco Giannattasio.
