Royal Order extending the protection to musical compositions

Real orden haciendo extensiva la Real orden de 5 de mayo de 1837 sobre obras dramáticas al grabado de las composiciones de música

Abstract:
A few months after dramatists achieved copyright recognition, a group of composers in Madrid also requested copyright protection from the Queen Regent, Maria Cristina. Their associative network was not directly grounded in theatrical practices but could be explained as a consequence of the regulatory inertia on copyright and the connection already established between the monarchy and the Royal Conservatory. It is not a surprise, then, that they also succeeded in their lobbying endeavour: the decree on dramatic property was extended to cover music.

Commentary: No commentaries for this record.
