ITEM 1: OPENING OF THE SESSION 6. The Chair of the SCCR welcomed the delegations to the 23rd session, and expressed hope that the meeting would achieve core agreements and understandings with the active participation of each and every one of them. The Chair further called for a frank and open dialogue with the spirit of transparency and impartiality. He also thanked the Secretariat for the timely presentation of the relevant documents. The Chair opened the session. 7. Mr. Francis Gurry, Director General of WIPO, joined the Chair in welcoming delegations to the SCCR and briefed them on the schedule of the session for the following two weeks. He highlighted the holding on Thursday, December 1, 2011, of the Preparatory Committee to make the arrangements for the Diplomatic Conference on the Protection of Audiovisual Performances, which was expected to take place in 2012. He recalled that at the previous SCCR meeting exceptional progress had been made owing to the constructive engagement of the Member States, and urged the delegations to maintain that same result-oriented spirit. Mr. Gurry also expressed hope that some agreement would be reached in the area of the limitations and exceptions for persons with print disabilities. Apart from the discussions on libraries and archives, he hoped some discussions would also take place on the issue of educational and research institutions. He also hoped some considerable progress would be achieved on the issue of protection of broadcasting organizations as, at the previous meeting of the SCCR, the delegations had demonstrated a collective way forward that indicated the possibility of a diplomatic conference in the year 2013. ITEM 2: ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA OF THE TWENTY-THIRD SESSION 8. The Chair thanked Mr. Francis Gurry and opened the floor to adopt the agenda of the 23rd session of the SCCR. 9. The Delegation of the United States of America, speaking on behalf of Group B, expressed great pleasure with the agreement on the 20 articles at the previous SCCR meeting, and the agreement by the General Assembly meeting held the previous month to reconvene the 2000 diplomatic conference with a desire to move forward. The Delegation said that Group B had come together to resolve the issue of the 2000 conference on the transfer of rights with the film producers. Group B looked forward to finalizing the work on the agreed statements and the preamble, and engaging the following week in the Committee making the arrangements to reconvene. The Delegation stressed that the important issue the Committee had embarked upon in recent years was the work on exceptions and limitations for the benefit of persons with print disabilities. The Delegation further reminded the meeting that during the previous two years there had been a convergence of WIPO members to establish norms for safeguarding the integrity of the intellectual property system. The Delegation believed that an international system could protect authors and enable full participation by the visually impaired in civic and cultural life. It was important for those persons with print disabilities to have access to educational, cultural and informational materials. Group B thanked the Chair for its efforts on Document SCCR/22/16 and looked forward to discussing it in greater detail over the course of the session. The Delegation said Group B remained committed to working with other Member States on the question of a treaty for broadcasting organizations, and hoped progress would be achieved towards the adoption of the treaty. The Delegation also hoped the two-day consultations on November 26 and 27 would make progress towards that goal, and committed SCCR/23/10 page 4 itself to constructive discussions on the subject of limitations and exceptions for libraries and archives. 10. The Chair then announced the adoption of the agenda in line with the proposed work methods suggested by the Secretariat. ITEM 3: ACCREDITATION OF NEW NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS 11.

Fruehwald: Copyright Infringement of Musical Compositions COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OF MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS: A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH by E. SCoTr FRUEHWALD INTRODUCTION This article addresses the problems that courts face when dealing with copyright infringement of musical compositions. Infringement of music presents special problems for judges and juries because music is an intuitive art that is nonverbal and nonvisual. Consequently, traditional methods of establishing infringement are often unreliable when applied to music. This paper will concentrate on the question of whether a composition that is similar to, but not the same as, another work infringes on the other work.

Executive Summary Canada's Public Domain is at risk, and needs the active protection of the Parliament of Canada. The author of this brief, Dr. Mark Akrigg, makes two major recommendations: 1. A "Safe Harbour" provision for works more than 75 years old where the life dates of the authors are not known. This has long been needed, and will be absolutely essential if copyright terms for photographs are extended, as currently proposed in Bill C-32. 2. No extensions of copyright durations. Specific language is proposed for related amendments to Bill C-32. These amendments are intended to be concise, straightforward, and uncontroversial. 20 January 2011 2 of 7 Protecting and Enhancing Canada's Public Domain A brief to the Legislative Committee on Bill C-32 by Mark Akrigg, founder of Project Gutenberg Canada, (http://gutenberg.ca/) a website distributing free digital editions of books in the Canadian Public Domain.

  • A Legal Framework for Global Joint Copyright Management in Musical Works – Based on Rawls’S Theory of Justice
    A Legal Framework for Global Joint Copyright Management in Musical Works – Based on Rawls’s Theory of Justice by Zhiqin Wu A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PHD) IN THE LAW SCHOOL, LANCASTER UNIVERSITY, UK (March 2018) © Zhiqin Wu DECLARATION I confirm that the thesis is my own work, that is has not been submitted in substantially the same form for the award of a higher degree elsewhere, and that all quotations have been distinguished and the sources of identification specifically acknowledged. 2 ABSTRACT The present music market has shown an imbalance of interests in terms of economic, social and cultural interests. The present research has found that joint music copyrights management is responsible for this issue. Joint management organisations (JMOs) are competing with each other in an unfair market worldwide due to the lack of harmonised rules to standardize their behaviours. It is imperative to establish a promising international copyright legal framework for regulating their behaviours, providing a fairer and common arena for both CMOs and IMEs, enabling JMOs to fulfil multiple functions so as to strike a real balance of interests between copyright stakeholders in music industry. It would also facilitate the cross-border flow of musical works in the digital era where copyrighted musical works flow across borders easily. The proposed theoretical framework is formulated on the basis of Rawls’s justice theory which provides powerful and systematic explanation and standards to evaluate and design JMOs’ functions. The standard of multi-objective, named economic, social and cultural objectives, is proposed for balancing interests at stake, more precisely, justifying the interests of the least well-off.

  • Striking Similarities: Toward a Quantitative Measure of Melodic Copyright Infringement Guillaume Laroche I Sincerely Thank Dr. J
    Striking Similarities: Toward a Quantitative Measure of Melodic Copyright Infringement Guillaume Laroche I sincerely thank Dr. Jonathan Wild, Audrey Laroche, and the staff and anonymous reviewers of Intégral for their helpful comments in improving drafts of this study. In a well-publicized 2008 lawsuit, guitarist Joe Satriani accused the band Coldplay of misappropriating his musical materials.1 The lawsuit, filed under the provisions of the United States Copyright Act, generated many news reports and even online videos comparing and contrasting the artists’ songs. 2 Though the exploration in popular discourse of musical plagiarism3 lawsuits seems to be a new phenomenon, musical plagiarism has appeared before American and other courts for well over a century. Such lawsuits are even somewhat common in the music industry; they are of particular interest to those people in musical careers, as the legal precedents of such lawsuits hold the potential to directly affect them. Yet, based on the paucity of discourse on the topic, musicians from outside the music industry, such as music theorists, appear to routinely ignore such proceedings. They, too, should take an interest in such cases. Such lawsuits often address questions that are fundamental to the analytical study of music, and place these questions at the center of popular social and entertainment discourse. In court, prosecuting and defending attorneys alike seek to highlight similarities or differences between their clients’ respective works; although legal professionals use 1 BBC News Online, “Guitarist Satriani Sues Coldplay” (London: BBC, December 5, 2008).
