The option of a compulsory license has been used to solve similar problems in many areas of intellectual property, including mechanical licenses in the area of music itself. This paper looks at the legal, economic, technological, and creative history of digitalmusic sampling and argues that the creation of a compulsory license for sampling would be a worthwhile endeavor, ultimately benefitting the three most important stakeholders in sampling: the party being sampled, the party doing the sampling, and the audience for sample-based music. In the final chapters, guidelines for how such a license might look are presented, and the actual process for how a compulsory license might be created is explored.

Show moreMusic has long been a pillar of profit in the entertainment industry, and an indispensable part in many people's daily lives around the world. The emergence of digital music and Internet file sharing, spawned by rapid advancement in information and communication technologies (ICT), has had a huge impact on the industry. Music sales in the U.S., the largest national market in the world, were cut in half over the past decade. After a quick look back at the pre-digital music market, this thesis provides an overview of the music industry in the digital era. The thesis continues with an exploration of three motivating questions that look at social networking sites as a possible major outlet and platform for musical artists and labels. A case study of a new social networking music service is presented and, in conclusion, thoughts on a general strategy for the digital music industry are presented.
