Essential IP concepts for musicians
By Estudio Chaloupka
Argentina’s National Institute of Music (INAMU) launched the Ibero-American Manual of Intellectual Rights in Music, which has the purpose of disseminating essential intellectual property concepts for musicians and creators.“Considering that intellectual rights are usually unknown in the music industry, this publication aims to provide systematized content that provides greater certainty and clarity when it comes to protecting works,” INAMU said in a press release.
For many years, the lack of access to complete and orderly information on this matter meant that a large number of people dedicated to music only knew segments of their rights. This partial knowledge affected creators in their rights protection since it generated wrong decisions that did not contemplate the different type of intellectual rights.
The manual classifies and expands data that was already available and collects the fundamental aspects of the legislation in force in 14 countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Uruguay and Venezuela.
It may be consulted as a reference material both by national or regional public policy makers, as well as researchers in the field. It complies with one of the founding objectives of INAMU: promoting internationally the required IP knowledge between institutions, musicians and workers of the music industry.
