Sounds Recordings, Copyright, and Indigenous Considerations

The Music Modernization Act and its Impact on Tribal Interests
The Orrin G. Hatch-Bob Goodlatte Music Modernization Act (MMA)
became Public Law 115-264 on October 11, 2018. Title II of the MMA
carries important Tribal implications for recordings pre-dating 1972, which
could potentially increase public access to sound recordings for
noncommercial purposes. This raises serious concerns regarding public
access and use of collections of sound recordings made of Tribal
ceremonies, songs, oral histories, and languages.
