Abstract: The subject of this research is the phonodocument as a means of social communication. The object of this publication is the particularities of storing phonodocuments in modern digital conditions, revealed on the basis of a systematization of the existing phonoarchive institutions in today's communication space. The relevance of this study is determined by the lack of modern fundamental theoretical and methodological studies focused on this topic. The aim of this article is to identify, within the framework of the development of the whole concept of phonoarchitecture, the trends in the expansion of the limits of the storage phase of technotronic communication in a phonodocumet's life cycle. The author examines the particuliarities of the organization of phonodocument storage systems in different regions of the world. The author notes the basic principles of function and interaction of the storage objects of sound recordings. Additionally, the author reveals the common and distinctive features behind the functioning of national and non-governmental phonoarchives, libraries and museums at the present stage. Particular attention is focused on the specifics of the organization of storage and the use of radiophonodocuments, describing in detail the specifics of the transformation of this subspecies. The methodological basis of this study is composed of the metatheory of social communication ("Noocommunicology"). The author used the methods of comparative analysis, scientific forecasting, terminological analysis, archival studies, interdisciplinary synthesis, and system-functional, historical-genetic and historical-typological approaches. The author discusses the systemic incorporation of the world system of audiovisual archives into the processes of phonodocument communication. The model of phonodocument communication is presented in the form of disconnected elements, organically assembled together and integrated into a balanced system. The novelty of this study lies in its justification of the proposed directions for improving the communication platform for the circulation of archival sound recordings in the new digital environment. The author's special contribution to this topic is his theoretical development of a set of measures for the functional-content segmentation of the logistical channels and the reconstruction of some elements in the phonodocuments' life cycles. The author also undertakes a significant expansion of this research field thanks to an in-depth representation of the innovative developments in the creation of thematic scenarios for the formation of private sound-recording collections and the modernization of corporate sound storage facilities founded on intercompany cooperation.

In this regard, the author of subject stops his research interest in the problems of illegal activity in this area – plagiarism, counterfeit audio products and the phenomenon of bootlegging in the chronological framework of the second half of the XX century – the first decade of the XXI century. Details considered practical examples of violations of rights holders in the music business. The theoretical core around which are grouped the methodological bases of research is the concept of intellectual property rights (intellectual property rights) in the context of cultural knowledge about soсial-musical (musical-legal) the nature of the three types of infringements of intellectual property rights in the sound recordings of popular music – plagiarism, counterfeiting and bootlegging. The priorities are the general methodological approaches to the analysis of social phenomena: the concrete historical and descriptive methods, comparative, dialectical systemic, structural and functional analyzes.As a result of the study the author comes to the conclusion that the level of musical audio stream adjusted using exclusively legal means is no longer possible and this trend affects the change communication formats in the music industry and record business. The study of the historical and legal aspects of bootlegging as a sub-system of unofficial records gave reason for removing logical-legal formula «Conflict-Free Anti-Recording». Less important intellectual and legal innovation is to identify the different levels of relations in terms of «Non-Release» and «Official Bootleg», which requires, in the author’s opinion, and additional regulatory updates on the legislative level.

Abstract: The analysis of foreign rock music in the domestic concept of recording the example of the best examples of records issued in the Soviet period «The Melody Firm», and «first wave» CDs in the 1990’s.

Methodological priorities are the comparative-historical methodology of musicology and theory of social communications. In the study of individual features in the article used a structured approach, descriptive method, hierarchical and faceted classification methods, the method of terminologic, logical-conceptual methods and motivic analysis. The novelty of this study lies in the fact that as a result of generalization of quantitative and qualitative indicators released in the Soviet Union Western carriers with recordings of rock music for the first time comprehensively substantiated the thesis of a clash of two cultures – the phonographic and philophonic, happened in the Soviet-Russian sector of the global musical space.

Due to this fact the phenomenon of our inquiry is presented in a form of dual socio-communicational construct that functions in the cultural space (sound recording + rock music). The author suggests and argues a thesis, according to which the dual nature of the rock music recording is expressed in the fact that the aforementioned musical phenomenon also represents an institution of social communication. The author is first to comprehensively explore the category of “rock music recording in USSR” as an intrinsic part of the system of social communication.

One of the corner stones of innovations is the statement of the final thesis on the fact that there are various versions and schools on the use of the “right to the band name” that have formed in the musical industry, which can be presented in the form of a “mosaic system” that does not always act according to legal precepts equally understood by all subjects of these legal relations (including the so-called “random coincidental band names”).
