Copyright Laws and Digital Piracy in Music Industries : The Relevance of Traditional Copyright Laws in the Digital Age and How Music Industries shoul…
2020
Master's thesis in Music management (MU501) The copyright laws formed in the publishing age in the eighteenth century have come a long way to the twenty-first century of the modern digital age. From the Statute of Anne in 1710 to Music Modernization Act in the U.S. and Article 17 in the European Union in 2018, several conventions held up until this date, but there are still issues or even more issues emerging in the music industries. On the other hand, digital technologies have been rapidly growing with the advent and access of the internet, which has dramatically reformed traditional music business models.

The Underrepresentation of Female Personalities in EDM : A Closer Look into the “Boys Only”-Genre
2017
Master's thesis Music Management MU501 - University of Agder 2017 EDM, or Electronic Dance Music for short, has become a big and lucrative genre. The once nerdy and uncool phenomenon has become quite the profitable business. Superstars along the lines of Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Avicii, and Tiësto have become the rock stars of today, and for many, the role models for tomorrow. This is though not the case for females. The British magazine DJ Mag has an annual contest, where listeners and fans of EDM can vote for their favorite DJs. In 2016, the top 100-list only featured three women; Australian twin duo NERVO and Ukrainian hardcore DJ Miss K8. Nor is it easy to find female DJs and acts o…
TONO-reporting in Norwegian Churches : A quantitative study and analysis of reporting practices and its prominence amongst free churches in Norway
2021
Master's thesis in Music management (MU501) Modern churches are some of the most frequent music users in our society. Many of them have several services during a week, and worship music is a very important component here. Contemporary worship music is performed in churches all over the world each week, and new songs are constantly added to the “pool”. This is also the case in Norway. When music is performed, copyright is involved. According to copyright law, music cannot be performed publicly without a license. In Norway, there are certain arrangements to ensure this for music venues, but also for churches. Based on my experience as a worship musician for many years, I wondered how well thi…
Not (just) for the money: Motivations behind the start-up of music festivals and the management challenge of balancing the needs of art and profit in…
2018
Master's thesis Music Management MU501 - University of Agder 2018 The background for this study is the acknowledgment, by academics, researchers and policy makers, of the relevance of Cultural Industries and cultural content created and distributed by them. Cultural products are indeed “complex, ambivalent and contested”, as Hesmondhalgh affirmed: big cultural corporations tend to be motivated by profit maximization, but simultaneously there are many cultural artefacts and organizations that are not moved by capitalistic interests (Hesmondhalgh, 2013, p.5). However, the relation between the artistic and idealistic and the commercial remains cause of tensions in the field of cultural industr…

Påvirker et ønske om komponistandeler produsentens kreative valg i studio?
2018
Masteroppgave Music Management MU501 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 Denne masteroppgaven undersøker om produsentens kreative bidrag i studio brukes i en økende grad som avlønning av rollen. Videre drøftes det om produsenter er tilbøyelige til å ta kreative grep for å øke sin komponistandel i kreative samarbeidssituasjoner. Jeg har satt opp et teoretisk rammeverk som tar for seg historikken til produsentrollens funksjoner, tradisjonelle inntektsstrømmer og insentivene til å skape innen immateriell rettighetslovgivning. For å generere et empirisk sammenligningsgrunnlag til teorien, har jeg foretatt fire intervjuer i en åpen samtaleform, der selve forskningsspørsmålet er blant spørsmålene jeg st…
