Bellido, Jose (2016) Forensic Technologies in Music Copyright. Social and Legal Studies, 25 (4). pp. 441-459. ISSN 0964-6639. E-ISSN 1461-7390. (doi:10.1177/0964663916628621) (KAR id:53556)

Abstract

The essay explores some recent controversies in British music copyright through the evolving technologies used to perform or play music in the courtroom. While the conceptual tension between cases has caused doctrinal anxiety about the effect of popular music in copyright, the essay contends that the recent stream of music copyright cases can be considered from a historical perspective, taking into account the tools, materials and experts as they featured in court. In doing so, the essay connects a history of legal expertise to the emergence of new technologies while arguing that legal knowledge about music copyright was, in fact, stabilised in the courtroom.
