The Music Law Copyright Infringement project provides law students and copyright scholars with access to previously inaccessible materials that may provide new insights into an often opaque area of law. By offering digital renderings of the case documents, relevant music with melody and harmony dissected, final outcomes of cases, commentary, opinions, musical scores and study questions, the project allows a more efficient and effective presentation of these materials in the classroom. It provides, for the first time, versions of the works that one can easily and dramatically manipulate (with the Finale, Coda Music Plugin) that enables students to study, compare and actively engage in the analysis of the disputed works.
