A PROPOSAL

DID YOU EVER THINK ABOUT IT ?:
WHY A MASTERWORK OF FIGURATIVE ART
(SAY A DRAWING BY LEONARDO)
IS CONSIDERED PATRIMONY OF HUMANITY
AND PROTECTED WITH ALL LEGAL MEANS
WHILE TO A HYSTORICAL RECORDING
(SAY THE ONE AND ONLY TAPE OF A BENEDETTI MICHELANGELI'S CONCERT)
IS NOT GRANTED THE SAME PRIVILEGE ?

NATURAL ANSWER : THE DRAWING IS NOT
REALLY REPRODUCEABLE
WHILE THE RECORDING IS.

WE AGREE. BUT TILL THE MOMENT IN WICH IT IS
ACTUALLY REPRODUCED
IS NOT THE UNIQUE RECORDED MASTERWORK
IN THE SAME CONDITION
AND THEREFORE WITH THE SAME VALUE AND RIGHTS
OF THE PICTORICAL ONE ?

WHY SHALL REMAIN UNPUNISHED
WHO TAMPERS WITH, DISFIGURES OR DESTROYS
THE UNIQUE RECORDING
THAT IS A RECORDING OF WICH THERE IS NO EVIDENCE
OF HAVING BEEN DOUBLED
AT LEAST ONCE ?

AND WHY SHALL REMAIN UNCONTESTED
WHO TAKES POSSESSION OF IT, TRADES IT
OR HIDE IT FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD
WITH RISK OF DAMAGE, LOSS
OR IMPEDIMENT TO AVAILABILITY ANYWAY ?

WE WANT AN INTERNETIONAL BILL
(OR WE WANT TO SUPPORT IT
IF ALREADY EXISTING)
THAT EQUALIZES THE RECORDED PERFORMING MASTERWORKS
TO THOSE OF OTHER ARTS.

WITHOUT IT WE WILL SEE CONFIRMED
THAT THE DIMENSION OF MAJOR HEARING
REMAINS THE CINDERELLA OF
HUMAN PERCEPTIONS.
PERHAPS THAT'S THE REASON AF ALL THIS HUBBUB:

ONLY WHO'S DEAF
NEEDS TO YELL


SHOULD YOU AGREE WITH THAT
WON'T YOU
E-MAIL ME ?,
OR WON'T YOU TELL ANYBODY ELSE
ENLIGHTENED ENOUGH TO KNOW
HOW TO LISTEN ?
MAY BE WE ARE A LOT...

THANK YOU !
