The Digital Performance Right in Sound Recordings Act and Its Failure to Address the Issue of Digital Music's New Form of Distribution

Abstract

This Note takes a close look at the Digital Performance Right in Sound Recordings Act. Although the Act was a step in the right direction, it fails to address certain key issues surrounding copyrighted music on the Internet. Questions about who will monitor and enforce copyright infringement on the Internet and who will be held liable for such violations still need to be resolved. Since affordable technology necessary for individuals to download copyrighted music off of the Internet with relative ease currently exists, this Note recommends that Congress quickly enact legislation to resolve the issues. Otherwise, the record industry as we know it will either face extinction or have to learn to adapt in this new era of technology.
