Finally, I gratefully acknowledge Villanova University School of Law’s financial support for this research. As ever, my family has been a source of inspiration and support, and I thank Kristy, Madeleine, and Vivian Carroll for that. 1. The technology underlying the explosive growth of the Internet certainly is far older than a decade. Digital technology dates back to the 1930s, computing technology dates back to the 1940s (unless one wants to count the abacus), and much of the research on packet-switched digital networks began in the early 1960s. See, e.g., JOHN NAUGHTON, A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FUTURE: THE ORIGINS OF THE INTERNET 92, 118-19 (1999); see also LEONARD KLEINROCK, COMMUNICATION NETS: STOCHASTIC MESSAGE FLOW AND DELAY (1964). But 1993 approximates the time at which those outside the computing community began to get wind of the Internet and the future that it might portend. In September 1993, the Commerce Department released its “Agenda for Action” for the “National Information Infrastructure,” heralding the new technology in glowing terms. Administration Policy Statement, 58 Fed. Reg. 49,025 (Sept. 21, 1993); see also John Perry Barlow, A Declaration of Independence for Cyberspace, in CRYPTO ANARCHY, CYBERSTATES AND PIRATE UTOPIAS 27 (Peter Ludlow ed., 2001). In that same year, the first issue of Wired magazine, devoted to the brave new wired world, hit the newsstands. Since then, expansion of the physical infrastructure, supported by adoption of open technical standards, has indeed led to some substantial changes in how we communicate. Significant portions of business communication and the personal communications of the upper and middle classes in the United States are channeled across the packet-switched network as electronic mail or instant messages. See, e.g., Ariana Eunjung Cha, ‘Digital Divide’ Less Clear, As Internet Use Spreads, Policy Debated Anew, WASH. POST, June 29, 2002, at E1 (reporting on study showing that less than half of the residents of the United States with incomes between $15,000 and $25,000 have Internet access at home or at work, compared to the 90% of residents with incomes of more than $75,000). Two developments in particular threaten revolution. The first development has been the digitization of the sights and sounds (and smells?)—the texts—that make up our popular culture. See, e.g., Michael W. Carroll, Disruptive Technology and Common Law Lawmaking: A Brief Analysis of A&M Records, Inc. v. Napster, Inc., 9 VILL. SPORTS & ENT. L.J. 5 (2002) (describing process by which popular music has been digitized). The second has been the deployment of digital networks featuring an architecture that disperses control and power over communication largely to end users of the network. Exploiting these developments, manufacturers of so- called “peer-to-peer” software have enabled end users to form virtual private networks through which each end user’s machine is a “peer” with all other machines insofar as the machine is both a “client,” which requests data, and a “server,” which sends data. Users of these networks serve and receive digital renderings of sight and 1405 1406 UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI LAW REVIEW [Vol. 72 technology, one of the most hotly contested has been the legal and social status of music. In 2000, the stunning growth of Napster’s network, which enabled users to “share” music files across the Internet with a few million of their closest friends, brought this still-unresolved controversy to prominence.2 Ever more promiscuous transmissions of music files across the Internet have drawn an enraged response from music publishers, recording companies, and some recording artists and composers, who collectively characterize the millions of Internet users who engage in the unauthorized exchange of prerecorded music across the Internet as “thieves.” This charge has been laid in lawsuits, news reports, advertising, and at the Grammy Awards. In April 2003, representatives of the Recording Industry of America Association (RIAA) sent the following instant message to thousands of users of the Kazaa peer-to-peer network: “When you break the law, you risk legal penalties. There is a simple way to avoid that risk: DON'T STEAL MUSIC.”3 Necessarily undergirding the charge of theft is the premise that music is a form of property—an odd kind of property that can be “stolen” by unauthorized reproduction and distribution. Among the millions of Internet users exchanging music files, some agree that they are in effect engaged in looting.4 Many, however, deny the charge. Some declare that “information wants to be free” and that music, like all other forms of digitized cultural expression, no longer can be or should be treated as sound in open disregard for traditional channels through which works of popular culture have been purveyed and in open disregard of copyright law, which has underwritten the traditional arrangements for selling pop culture. The size of peer-to-peer networks continues to grow. For example, Napster’s most popular successor, the Kazaa Media Desktop, reportedly now has become the most downloaded piece of software in Internet history. See Most Downloaded Program on the Web?, available at http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/internet/05/23/media.kazaa.reut/ (last visited Feb. 1, 2004). 2. See, e.g., A & M Records, Inc. v. Napster, Inc., 239 F.3d 1004 (9th Cir. 2001) (holding Napster liable for users’ unauthorized transmissions of music files). For a detailed look inside the business side of Napster’s meteoric rise, see JOSEPH MENN, ALL THE RAVE: THE RISE AND FALL OF SHAWN FANNING’S NAPSTER (2003). For more on the technology and specific copyright issues raised by Napster, see generally Carroll, supra note 1 (describing process by which popular music has been digitized). 3. See Amy Harmon, Music Industry Sends a Message to PC Screens: Sharing Is Theft, N.Y. TIMES, Apr. 30, 2003, at C1 (quoting instant message sent by representatives of the Recording Industry of America Association to users of the Kazaa file-sharing network). Escalating this conflict, the RIAA recently has won the right to unmask the online identities of those who transfer music files across peer-to-peer computer networks. With that information, the RIAA has commenced a campaign against individuals alleged to have engaged in large-scale unauthorized transmissions of music files. See, e.g., Amy Harmon, 261 Lawsuits Filed on Music Sharing, N.Y. TIMES, Sept. 9, 2003, at A1 (describing lawsuits as the “first broad legal action aimed at ordinary users of file-sharing networks”). 4. To further bolster support for the view that unauthorized file swapping is theft per se, the RIAA has offered amnesty to those file traders willing to publicly confess to theft. See, e.g., Andy Sullivan, Repent Downloaders and Get Amnesty, Reuters, Sept. 5, 2003, available at http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;? storyID=3396175. 2004] WHOSE MUSIC 1407 proprietary information.5 Others accept the premise that music is a form of property but deny that their activities infringe the rights of property owners. A third view looks at music as a form of shared property. On this view, creators have some rights to control the initial sale and distribution of music, but buyers also have rights to use and “share” the music they have purchased.6 This conceptual conflict over music’s status has been brought into relief by changed material circumstances. Finding a resolution to this conflict and reflecting that resolution in law are fundamentally challenging issues for our society. As part of a larger project to address these issues, this Article proceeds from the premise that a better understanding of how and when proprietary concepts came to be applied to music will aid the effort to find a resolution to the current conflict over digital music. Most readers likely have an intuitive sense that people have produced music without copyright protection for a long period of time. That intuitive sense is correct, but a more detailed understanding of how and why those in the West came to treat musical expression as a form of property is necessary to evaluate whether those reasons remain persuasive.7 The bulk of what follows is a survey of the relevant historical literature to trace how and when in Western history music came to be the subject of proprietary 5.

The final Japanese version of record was deposited in the Japanese National Diet Library in June 2017. #2314910 Ph.D. entrance year: 2014 2016 academic year Tokyo University of the Arts, Department of Musicology Ph.D. dissertation Supervisor: UEMURA Yukio Supervisory committee: TSUKAHARA Yasuko MARUI Atsushi Hugh DE FERRANTI i English abstract Student number: 2314910 Name: Patrick Evan SAVAGE Title: Measuring the cultural evolution of music: With case studies of British-American and Japanese folk, art, and popular music Darwin's theory of evolution provided striking explanatory power that has come to unify biology and has been successfully extended to various social sciences. In this dissertation, I demonstrate how cultural evolutionary theory may also hold promise for explaining diverse musical phenomena, using a series of quantitative case studies from a variety of cultures and genres to demonstrate general laws governing musical change. Chapter one describes previous research and debates regarding music and cultural evolution. Drawing on major advances in the scientific understanding of cultural evolution over the past three decades, I clarify persistent misconceptions about the roles of genes and progress in definitions of evolution, showing that neither is required or assumed. I go on to review older and recent literature relevant to musical evolution at a variety of levels, from Lomax's macroevolutionary interpretation of global patterns of song-style to microevolutionary mechanisms by which minute melodic variations give rise to large tune families.

When referenced in other works the hymns become lenses into the shifting web of American musical and national identity. This study reveals these complex interactions using cultural and musical analyses of six compositions from the 1930s to the present as case studies. The works presented are Virgil Thomson’s film score to The River (1937), Aaron Copland’s arrangement of “Zion’s Walls” (1952), Samuel Jones’s symphonic poem Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (1974), Alice Parker’s opera Singers Glen (1978), William Duckworth’s choral work Southern Harmony and Musical Companion (1980-81), and the score compiled by T Bone Burnett for the film Cold Mountain (2003).

Although a number of initiatives to preserve the “sung folklore” of the Nazi ghettos and camps were undertaken soon after the end of the Second World War, Kaczerginski’s magnum opus, the anthology Lider fun di getos un lagern (Songs of the Ghettos and Camps), published in New York in 1948, remains unsurpassed to this day as a resource for research in the field of Jewish folk and popular music of the Holocaust period. ii Chapter one of the dissertation recounts Kaczerginski’s life story, from his underprivileged childhood in Vilna, Imperial Russia (present-day Vilnius, Lithuania), to his tragic early death in Argentina.

Translating, Adapting, And Performing Opera In Eighteenth-Century Cosmopolitan Europe: Lorenzo Da Ponte At The King's Theatre Abstract This dissertation examines music and text circulation in cosmopolitan Europe during the last decades of the eighteenth century through the lens of translation. London in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was the largest center of Italian operatic performance outside of Italy. All performances sung at the King’s Theatre, London, were sung in Italian, the presumed language of opera, even when the works had been originated in other languages. This created the need for a culture of translation and adaptation of works from abroad, making them suitable for a London audience partially through the retention of foreignness and partially through domesticating practices. In the 1790s, a period of political tension between Britain and post-Revolution France, four French operas were presented at the King's Theatre in Italian translations attributed to the poet Lorenzo Da Ponte (1749-1838): Gluck's Iphig�nie en Tauride, Gr�try's Z�mire et Azor, Monsigny's La belle Ars�ne, and Sacchini's Arvire et �v�lina.
