ARRANGEMENTS AND EDITIONS OF PUBLIC DOMAIN MUSIC: ORIGINALITY IN A FINITE SYSTEM* Copyright law seeks toprotect originality,in the context of derivativemusic, how- ever, courts have struggled to dfne originality. Hampered by unfamiliarity with musical terminology and basic compositional techniques, courts have gropedfor standardsof easy application. But originality is not amenable to bright line stan- dards. Indeed,stark distinctions between originalityand nonoriginalityare neither feasible nor responsible. This Note critiques existingjudicial standardsfor assessing the originalityof derivative works and offers suggestionsfor a moreflexible alloca- tion of copyright protection. It identoes the conflicting goals of copyright law-protecting a composer's originality while preserving the availability ofpublic domain music andideas--anddemonstrateshow those goals may be reconciled Fi- nally, the Note explores the benefts and limitations of expert testimony in musical copyright litigation, and shows how experts, without usurping the judicialfunction, can assist courts in reaching more sophisticateddecisions.

  • The Need for More Certainty of Copyright Status for Classical Music Works Published Between 1925 and 1978*1
    IF IT IS BAROQUE, FIX IT: THE NEED FOR MORE CERTAINTY OF COPYRIGHT STATUS FOR CLASSICAL MUSIC WORKS PUBLISHED BETWEEN 1925 AND 1978*1 I. INTRODUCTION Classical music is all around us. Although dismal concert attendance numbers suggest otherwise, classical music still has an important place in modern culture—from elevating emotions in film soundtracks to wooing consumers through television commercials.2 Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt appeared in a Coca-Cola commercial aired during the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympics.3 Advertising agencies have used Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s famous 1812 Overture to sell products ranging from breakfast cereal to a drug that treats overactive bladder.4 Independence Day celebrations around the nation also frequently feature the piece.5 Nonclassical artists surreptitiously submerge classical works into popular music. The verse of Eric Carmen’s song “All by Myself,” also covered by Celine Dion,6 originates in Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto no. 2 in C Minor.7 Rapper Nas used Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Für Elise” throughout his song “I Can.”8 Nas also used Frédéric Chopin’s Étude in C Minor, op. 10, no. 12 in his song “A Queens Story.”9 Lady Gaga’s hit song “Alejandro” begins with Vittorio Monti’s Czardas,10 which itself comes from a traditional Hungarian folk dance.11 Ludacris’s song “Coming 2 America” cleverly and appropriately contains Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony no. 9 in E Minor, op. * Yunica Jiang, J.D. Candidate, Temple University Beasley School of Law, 2020. I would like to thank Professor Erika Douglas for her feedback, guidance, support, and encouragement throughout this process.

VANDERBILT JOURNAL OF ENTERTAINMENT AND TECHNOLOGY LAW VOLUME 15 WINTER 2013 NUMBER 2 Copyright Infringement of Music: Determining Whether What Sounds Alike Is Alike Margit Livingston* and Joseph Urbinato** ABSTRACT The standard for copyright infringement is the same across different forms of expression. But musical expression poses special challenges for courts deciding infringement disputes because of its unique attributes. Tonality in Western music offers finite compositional choices that will be pleasing or satisfying to the ear. The vast storehouse of existing public domain music means that many of those choices have been exhausted. Although independent creation negates plagiarism, the inevitable similarity among musical pieces within the same genre leaves courts in a quandary as to whether defendant composers infringed earlier copyrighted works or simply found their own way to a similar melody, harmony, rhythm, or formal structure.

HOW COPYRIGHT LAW MAY AFFECT POP MUSIC WITHOUT OUR KNOWING IT Peter K. Yu* I. INTRODUCTION When copyright law is linked to the creation of music-the focus of this Symposium-interesting questions arise. In the context of classical music, for example, why could Johann Sebastian Bach "recycle" in his Concerto for Four Harpsichords the opening phrase in Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto for Four Violins, Strings and Harpsichord Continuo?' Why could Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky include in his 1812 Overture repetitive fragments of La Marseillaise and the anthem God Save the Tsar! to portray the clash between the French and Russian armies?2 Would copyright protection in musical works help Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart avoid poverty and the fate of dying penniless? Or would such protection instead lead him to behave more like Johannes Brahms and Giuseppe Verdi, whose creativity slowed down significantly following the introduction of copyright protection?3 * Copyright © 2014 Peter K.
