Rick KarrThe Tyranny of Copyright?
With the rise of file-sharing and MP3s, the music and entertainment industry has found itself faced with a sweeping range of issues concerning appropriation and intellectual property. Today we attempt to define some of the fault lines when guest host Rick Karr is joined by Siva Vaidhyanathan, a cultural historian and NYU professor of Media Studies and author of “Copyrights and Copywrongs: The Rise of Intellectual Property and How it Threatens Creativity.” He discusses how “copyright” is not quite the seal and safeguard for consumers and producers of culture-ware that we’re often led to believe. Also on the show is pianist and composer Gao Ping, who very quietly has been taking Russian tunes from 20s and 30s and incorporating them into his compositions.
