The political economy of music has undergone significant change in the first decade of the 21st century, largely but not exclusively in line with the expansion of digital and mobile networks, their populations of newly empowered participant users, and responses of the establishment multinational recording industry to the presumed harm to musical cultures and economies caused by mass digital piracy, or the unlicensed use and sharing of their intellectual property online. This dissertation undertakes a comparative political-economic analysis of incumbent industrial contra emergent networked musical economies, and copyright governance developments in the United States, Canada, and Brazil. It identifies and analyzes the intersections of music, politics, and economics--primarily around the recording industry, opportunities for independent music companies and artists, and national and supranational anti-piracy policy formulation--across three distinct but interconnected national music markets in developed and developing countries. The study has two intended goals: First, to identify hybrid models, markets, and enterprises centered on music, in order to critique the reactions of the "major" record companies to digital networks, and to inform music creators and entrepreneurs of the configurable revenue opportunities available to them as they navigate the commercial, technological, and political-economic terrains of music in the early Internet age. The second goal, motivated by theories of music as prophetic of, and catalytic in, historic mutations in socio-economic structures, is to extend contemporary globalization theory through a synthesis of cultural hybridization theory and modern social imaginary theory, to propose the emergence of simultaneously local and global (or glocal) networked hybrid social imaginaries. In order to strengthen hybridization as a tool of critical analysis, a reflexive hybridity that is experienced and imagined by networked cosmopolitan subjects through processes of musical glocalization is theorized, adding a third aspect to already well-developed theories of cultural and structural hybridization
