Again And Again There Have Been Attempts To Police Music; To Restrict Borrowing And Cultural Crossfertilization. But Music Builds On Itself. To Those Who Think That Mashups And Sampling Started With Youtube Or The Djs Turntables, It Might Be Shocking To Find That Musicians Have Been Borrowing Extensively Borrowing From Each Other Since Music Began. Then Why Try To Stop That Process? The Reasons Varied. Philosophy, Religion, Politics, Race Again And Again, Race And Law. And Because Music Affects Us So Deeply, Those Struggles Were Passionate Ones. They Still Are.The History In This Book Runs From Plato To Blurred Lines And Beyond. You Will Read About The Holy Roman Empires Attempts To Standardize Religious Music Using The First Great Musical Technology (Notation) And The Inevitable Backfire Of That Attempt.

Would Jazz, Soul Or Rock And Roll Be Legal If They Were Reinvented Today? We Are Not Sure. Which As You Will Read, Is Profoundly Worrying Because Today, More Than Ever, We Need The Arts.All Of This Makes Up Our Story. It Is Assuredly Not The Only History Of Music. But It Is Definitely A Part And A Fascinating Part Of That History. We Hope You Like It.
