    Intellectual Property and Music Borrowing

    What is forensic musicology? And the definition of music unconsciousness?  Both of these concepts and many more of the intricacies related to ‘borrowing’ and the categorization of music are outlined in this conversation with the editors, Enrico Bonadio and Chen Wei Zhu, of the book ‘Music Borrowing and Copyright Law: a genre-by-genre analysis’. Dr. Chen Zhu is an Associate Professor from the University of Birmingham.  In this book, Chen argues that music artefacts in dispute are ontologically unstable, and this makes it difficult for any legal system to easily distinguish between permissible borrowing and illegal misappropriation. (See Chapter 3 “Litigating Musical Universals and Particulars: Copyright Law’s Ontological Struggle with Music Borrowing”). Related to music copyright law research, Chen also programmes with LilyPond (for music score “engraving”) and Sonic Pi (for writing performable music text), both of which can be employed for musico-legal analysis . His perspective on the use of open-source computational tools for legal research can be found here: https://blog.bham.ac.uk/lawresearch/2023/06/coding-like-a-lawyer-learning-to-programme-can-be-useful-and-fun-for-curating-legal-knowledge/ Enrico Bonadio is Professor of Law at City St George’s University of London. He teaches, researches, and advises in the field of intellectual property (IP) law. His research agenda is wide-ranging, having recently focused on the intersection between IP and new technologies and IP protection of non-conventional forms of creativity. Enrico is Deputy Editor in Chief of the European Journal of Risk Regulation and member of the Editorial Board of the European Intellectual Property Review. He has been delivering classes and talks in more than 140 universities and research institutions in six continents and his research has been covered by several media outfits including CNN, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Washington Post, New York Times, Reuters, South China Morning Post, BBC, The Times, The Guardian, The Independent, Politico and Associated Press.
