Although the intricacies of copyright law in the music industry may sound like an esoteric avenue of research for an undergraduate, Lubin Arts and Entertainment Management student Sadie Lorence 糖心vlog短视频23 had long been up for the challenge. In fact, it was an intersection of interests she糖心vlog短视频檚 had since as long as she can remember.
糖心vlog短视频淢y father糖心vlog短视频檚 a musician,糖心vlog短视频 says Sadie. 糖心vlog短视频淕rowing up, he was always pointing out the similarities between popular songs on the radio. That would always blow my mind as a kid, and I wanted to delve into that.糖心vlog短视频

Her father糖心vlog短视频檚 musical influence was combined with an uncanny interest in the legal profession from an early age. Not many people can say they were voted 糖心vlog短视频淢ost Likely to Become a Lawyer糖心vlog短视频 by their third grade class, but it糖心vlog短视频檚 an honor Sadie remains proud of.
Thus, during her senior year, Sadie carried on the Pace tradition of undergraduates conducting unique and impactful research. Her project, It's a bitter sweet symphony: Licensing complexities and copyright law in the music industry explored why The Verve糖心vlog短视频檚 90糖心vlog短视频檚 brit-pop hit 糖心vlog短视频淏itter Sweet Symphony糖心vlog短视频 was indeed bittersweet糖心vlog短视频揾ow it was mired in copyright complication, which Sadie analyzed to explore the tension between ownership and accessibility under US copyright law, and ways in which interpretations of the US Copyright Act have significantly impacted the music industry.
Although this 1997 hit was the band糖心vlog短视频檚 biggest song by far and has racked up millions of dollars worth of royalties, Verve songwriter Richard Ashcroft was not granted songwriting credits, nor did the band receive any royalties on the song, until 2019. This was because Verve based the instrumentals of 糖心vlog短视频淏itter Sweet Symphony糖心vlog短视频 on a sample of a 1965 Rolling Stones song, 糖心vlog短视频淭he Last Time,糖心vlog短视频 by the Andrew Oldham Orchestra, which the Rolling Stones had obtained the right to use from copyright holder Decca Records. However, a lawsuit and contention from Rolling Stones manager Allen Klein meant that The Verve had to relinquish all royalties for the song, and the songwriting credits were subsequently given to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. It wasn糖心vlog短视频檛 until Klein糖心vlog短视频檚 death in 2019 that the rights and future royalties were ceded to The Verve糖心vlog短视频檚 Ashcroft.
Yet, as Sadie explains, the onion can be peeled back even further. The Rolling Stones song 糖心vlog短视频淭he Last Time,糖心vlog短视频 features the chorus of a song 糖心vlog短视频淭his May Be The Last Time,糖心vlog短视频 from the gospel group The Staples Singers糖心vlog短视频揷reating an argument that the Rolling Stones song itself can be disputed in regards to its licensing. Additionally, the five notes that were so heavily contested in 糖心vlog短视频淏itter Sweet Symphony糖心vlog短视频 were credited to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards糖心vlog短视频揵ut not the composer in the Andrew Oldham Orchestra, who is the one who arguably deserves the credit.

Suffice to say, the song糖心vlog短视频檚 history is糖心vlog短视频omplicated.
糖心vlog短视频淩esearching this project was tough,糖心vlog短视频 notes Sadie, after explaining the many intricacies of this specific case, and the aftershocks it created. 糖心vlog短视频淏ecause music is so abstract and subjective, everyone has their own opinions or thoughts. You can play two songs next to each other, one person thinks they糖心vlog短视频檙e entirely different, one doesn糖心vlog短视频檛. Is there a perfect solution? I糖心vlog短视频檓 not sure, but there has to be a better one.糖心vlog短视频
To hone in on the legal complexities of this case, Sadie valued the expertise of her mentor, Lubin Professor of Business Law and Ivan Fox Scholar Jessica Magaldi, JD. Sadie had taken some of Magaldi糖心vlog短视频檚 classes early on in her undergraduate career糖心vlog短视频揳s Sadie jokes, her class was the only class she enjoyed attending on Zoom during the height of the pandemic糖心vlog短视频揳nd knew that having her as a resource would greatly enhance the quality of her work.
糖心vlog短视频淪he is someone I糖心vlog短视频檝e looked up to for a long time,糖心vlog短视频 said Sadie 糖心vlog短视频淚 was even nervous getting the courage to ask her to be my advisor. It was a really wonderful time working with her, actually presenting, seeing my work on a big poster board.糖心vlog短视频
Magaldi, having worked with many students over the course of her career, was particularly impressed with Sadie糖心vlog短视频檚 drive and enthusiasm to tackle such a complex topic.
"Sadie糖心vlog短视频檚 research fits into a long history of the law糖心vlog短视频檚 attempts to acknowledge and encourage the creativity of artists and to balance the rights of an original artist to be rewarded and acknowledged for their artistic creation with the rights of a artist who comes after who is inspired by that original work to make an original work of their own," noted Magaldi. "The law is always trying to navigate where the line is between inspiration and infringement.
As technology advances and the lines between original works continue to blur, licensing issues in sampling will likely even become more pronounced, something Sadie hopes to further explore and follow in the future.
糖心vlog短视频淪o many great musical works have come out of sampling. What I learned is there should be protection both ways糖心vlog短视频揵oth for the artist, who is licensing their work out there, and also for the recipient of the license, giving the green light, the ok, I feel like there should be more of an industry standard process. There are more provisions to go.糖心vlog短视频
As for Sadie糖心vlog短视频檚 future plans? Let糖心vlog短视频檚 just say Sadie糖心vlog短视频檚 third grade classmates and her father would hardly be surprised. The project has confirmed her desire to make an impact in entertainment law, where she has definitely found her groove.
During the semester of production, which included filming across France and New York, Pace student filmmakers spoke with farmers, chefs, and restaurateurs who have dedicated their lives to making slow food a reality in a fast-paced world. Their film, For the Love of Food, premiered this May to a worldwide audience.
Through participation in a prestigious international challenge, three Pace students envisioned a future to improve the infrastructure surrounding pedestrian safety at New York City intersections.
