Abstract
Using music in the process of creating textile patterns is a practice that is enabled by recent technological advances. As music is protected under copyright law, such a process of creation might prove contestable where no authorisation from the right holder in the musical piece at issue has been obtained. As discussed in this chapter in further detail, the process at issue concerns a textile designer who is utilising another person’s work in his/her transformative creation process, while generating his/her own original creative expression. The extent to which such practice is permissible might have repercussions that go beyond the interests of the textile designer. More and more transformative uses of existing works are becoming possible due to technological advances, although various forms of transformation uses have been with us for a long time.
