     Music AS CULTURAL HERITAGE: ANALYSIS OF THE MEANS OF PREVENTING THE
                  EXPLOITATION OF INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE

                                        ABSTRACT

What started out as a law school requirement quickly snowballed into an analysis of the relationship
between intellectual property and cultural heritage. I am a music guy at heart, having played piano
since I was five years old, having composed one song (after multiple tries), and now working directly
with musicians and artists. So when I began researching a topic for an article that would connect the
dots between the cultural heritage and its respective music, I could only come across legal doctrine
and articles that focused heavily on tangible art and artifacts. So what happened to the music? After
going down the rabbit hole of legal research regarding cultural heritage, I found very few articles
analyzing the legal issues behind intangible cultural heritage, otherwise known as traditional and
folklore music. So this Article does just that: explores the problematic legal issues involved with
preventing the exploitation of intangible cultural heritage and suggests a methodology to fixing such
problems. By delving into the various methodologies behind protecting and/or preventing traditional
and folklore music, this Article breaks down the pros and cons behind each methodology in hopes of
uncovering a solution buried underneath the rubble.
