What is MP3?

The MPEG Layer-3 Audio format, commonly known as MP3 is a file format used for storing sound digitally. These MP3’s can be stored on computer hard drives, ZIP disks, some floppy disks, and other storage mediums. The MP3 format is so popular because of its ability to store large sound recordings extremely small. Because of their manageable size, MP3’s are easily distributed over the Internet.

The MP3 Problem

Unless a individual is the owner of the copyright to the words, the music and the actual performance that is on tape or CD (or any other format), he/she will not be able to distribute the product for free, for fun, or for profit. This means loading a music collection onto a computer, and letting others have access to it, is probably illegal.

Music web sites are the latest rage among college students across the country. Many of these music sites have been created by students and made available to the public through their universities’ access to the Internet. Most of these sites are also illegal, because they violate federal and/or state copyright laws. The consequences for administering or interacting with these sites can be severe.

On the Internet copyright laws remain the same. Reproductions or distributions of sound recordings, which have not been authorized by the copyright owner, violate federal and, possibly state law. While there is an exception for copying for personal use onto cassette tapes and some digital media, that exception does not apply to the Internet. This means that, as a general rule, downloading, uploading or otherwise distributing MP3’s without authorization is illegal. This law applies even if no profit is derived from the activity.

What is a copyright?

A Copyright is the means for artists, writers, and musicians to protect their work and the profits that might be generated from their work. Copyright laws control the reproduction, distribution, adaptation, and, in some cases, the public display and performance of creative works. These laws are the basis for protecting the ownership of creative works of music, art, and literacy or scholarly work. In other words, copyright law says that the owner of the copyright controls these uses of the work.

In recorded music, copyrights protect songwriters, composers and performers. For any given recording there are at least TWO copyrighted works involved. First, there's the copyright in the musical work (the lyrics and musical notes as they are written on paper). The songwriter or music publisher normally owns this copyright. The second is the copyright in the sound recording (a recording of a performer singing or playing their particular song). This copyright is usually owned by the record company.

The only LEGAL way to reproduce a piece of recorded music -- uploading, downloading, copying from a CD, etc. - is to get permission from the owners of these different copyrights. This is called obtaining a "license".

The Main Rules

• Creating unauthorized MP3 sites by copying sound recordings to a server and/or offering such recordings for download is a violation of copyright law
• Creating tapes or CDs of recordings downloaded from the Internet is a violation of copyright law
• Offering interactive digital transmissions (such as web pages, FTP sites, etc.) of sound recordings, and in some cases, webcasts requires licensing, but is otherwise illegal

The RIAA and the Recording Industry

The Recording Industry Association of America, or RIAA, is the trade group that represents the companies and people in the recording industry. The RIAA works to protect the intellectual property rights and the First Amendment rights of artists; conduct consumer, industry and technician research; and monitor, review and influence state and federal laws, regulations and policies. The RIAA has been very active in instructing schools and universities in such policy creation. The purpose of the RIAA is to raise awareness that reproducing and distributing music illegally is akin to stealing, and has serious ethical and legal consequences.

The RIAA is committed to getting music to fans while protecting the democratic principles in the new world of changing technology. This is being done through the SOUNDBYTING Campaign, in the education of universities and students about respecting the rights of musicians on the Internet.
