As college students, it is easy to block out the bitter realities which are faced by so many in our world today (indeed, perhaps this is why these are called the best four years of one's life). Even if one is aware of the massive problems that confront our world- hWl.ger. poverty, war- we may feel powerless to change them. This is, however. no excuse not to take what small actions one can to help out. One of these small actions could be making a contribution to HWl.ger Awareness Week. No matter how ''broke" a college stu­ dent is. lhero certainly are many people who are much worse off. The injustice in our world will not cease until everyone makes the decision to help out. Why not make Lhal decision this week? Unity and fun There has been a lol of talk in the past several years about what is seemingly a perpetual problem: how to gel commuter students more involved in campus life.

    Plunderphonics – Plagiarismus in Der Musik

    Plagiat und Fälschung in der Kunst 1 PLUNDERPHONICS – PLAGIARISMUS IN DER MUSIK PLUNDERPHONICS – PLAGIARISMUS IN DER MUSIK Durch die Erfindung der Notenschrift wurde Musik versprachlicht und damit deren Beschreibung mittelbar. Tonträger erlaubten es, Interpretationen, also Deutungen dieser sprachlichen Beschreibung festzuhalten und zu reproduzieren. Mit der zunehmenden Digitalisierung der Informationen und somit der Musik eröffneten sich im 20. Jahrhundert neue Möglichkeiten sowohl der Schaffung als auch des Konsums der Musik. Eine Ausprägung dieses neuen Schaffens bildet Plunderphonics, ein Genre das von der Reproduktion etablierter Musikstücke lebt. Diese Arbeit soll einen groben Überblick über das Genre, deren Ursprünge und Entwicklung sowie einigen Werken und thematisch angrenzenden Musik‐ und Kunstformen bieten. Es werden rechtliche Aspekte angeschnitten und der Versuch einer kulturphilosophischen Deutung unternommen. 1.) Plunderphonics und Soundcollage – Begriffe und Entstehung Der Begriff Plunderphonics wurde vom kanadischen Medienkünstler und Komponisten John Oswald geprägt und 1985 in einem bei der Wired Society Electro‐Acoustic Conference in Toronto vorgetragenen Essay zuerst verwendet [1]. Aus musikalischer Sicht stellt Plunderphonics hierbei eine aus Fragmenten von Werken anderer Künstler erstellte Soundcollage dar. Die Fragmente werden verfälscht, beispielsweise in veränderter Geschwindigkeit abgespielt und neu arrangiert. Hierbei entsteht ein Musikstück, deren Bausteine zwar Rückschlüsse auf das „Ursprungswerk“ erlauben, dessen Aussage aber dem „Original“ zuwiderläuft. Die Verwendung musikalischer Fragmente ist keine Errungenschaft Oswalds. Viele Musikstile bedienen sich der Wiederaufnahme bestehender Werke: Samples in populär‐ und elektronischer Musik, Riddims im Reggae, Mash‐Ups und Turntablism in der Hip‐Hop‐Kultur. Soundcollagen, also Musikstücke, die vermehrt Fragmente verwenden, waren mit dem Fortschritt in der Tontechnik möglich geworden und hielten Einzug in den Mainstream [HB2].

The unusual proximity of release dates by the world’s two most significant rock bands was echoed by the congruity of the songs’ themes: the Stones’ “Street Fighting Man” and the Beatles’ “Revolution” were both responses to the political unrest and protest which characterised the spring and summer of 1968.

    c01.qxd 11/20/04 3:39 PM Page 11 PART ONE Art and Culture: Use Only as Directed Copyright and trademark law is an important tool in incubating new cre- ativity and building a culture. By giving creators a property right in their works, the law stimulates the development of all sorts of new works. What is not appreciated as much is how overly broad copyright and trademark laws can sabotage creative production. Artists necessarily must draw upon works of the past.They also must be able to modify and trans- form prior works and collaborate and share with fellow artists. Since copyrights and trademarks are essentially monopoly rights, the question thus becomes: How far should intellectual property protection extend? What is the proper balance? As the stories of Part One illustrate, the intended balance of copyright and trademark law has gotten seriously out of whack. The chief propo- nents of broader, longer, and stricter forms of protection are the various “content industries” that produce music, film, photographs, literature, journalism, and entertainment. They like broad legal protection for their works because it makes those works more valuable. Owning the copy- right on, say, a Beatles tune for an extra twenty years could easily be worth a fortune. Broader protection also privileges commodified works over “nonmarket”COPYRIGHTED creativity such as folk traditions,MATERIAL public dialogue, art, scholarship, and the works of online communities. It is a complicated business drawing the lines of protection properly. But the following stories show that appropriate limits for copyright and trademark protection have been transgressed time and again.

    Nations of Song Aaron Corn Eye-witness testimony is the lowest form of evidence. — Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist1 Poets are almost always wrong about facts. That’s because they are not really interested in facts: only in truth. — William C. Faulkner, writer2 Whether we evoke them willingly or whether they manifest in our minds unannounced, songs travel with us constantly, and frequently hold for us fluid, negotiated meanings that would mystify their composers. This article explores the varying degrees to which song, and music more generally, is accepted as a medium capable of bearing fact. If, as Merleau-Ponty postulated,3 external cultural expressions are but artefacts of our inner perceptions, which media do we reify and canonise as evidential records of our history? Which media do we entrust with that elusive commodity, truth? Could it possibly be carried by a song? To illustrate this argument, I will draw on my 15 years of experience in working artistically and intellectually with the Yolŋu people of north-east Arnhem Land in Australia’s remote north, who are among the many Indigenous peoples whose sovereignty in Australia predates the British occupation of 1788.4 As owners of song and dance traditions that formally document their law and are performed to conduct legal processes, the Yolŋu case has been a focus of prolonged political contestation over such nations of song, and also raises salient questions about perceived relations between music and knowledge within the academy, where meaning and evidence are conventionally rendered in text. This article was originally presented as a keynote address to the joint meeting of the Musicological Society of Australia and the New Zealand Musicological Society at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand, in December 2010.

Alongside your valuable insights and academic expertise, you were also supportive and understanding of a range of personal milestones which took place during the project. I would also like to extend my thanks to other members of the School of Music faculty who offered valuable insight during my research: Dr Kenneth Gloag; Dr Amanda Villepastour; and Prof. David Wyn Jones. My completion of this project would have been impossible without the support of my parents: Denise Arkell and John O’Connell. Without your understanding and backing it would have taken another five years to finish (and nobody wanted that). I would also like to thank my daughter Cecilia for her input during the final twelve months of the project. I look forward to making up for the periods of time we were apart while you allowed me to complete this work. Finally, I would like to thank my wife: Anne-Marie. You were with me every step of the way and remained understanding, supportive and caring throughout. We have been through a lot together during the time it took to complete this thesis, and I am looking forward to many years of looking back and laughing about it all. i Joseph O’Connell Contents Table of Contents Introduction 4 I.
