Description
A valuable resource for record labels and recording artists alike, Legal Aspects of the Music Industry proposes a critical analysis and a multitude of samples of contracts and agreements commonly used in the music business. Based on the author's thirty years of experience as a music business attorney, and the use of earlier version of this title as the core topic of his UCLA extension class, "Legal and Practical Aspects of the Music Industry," this is one professional reference title this no one in the business should be not including.

Topics covered contain artist recording agreements, independent producers agreements, master buy agreements, production agreements, option agreements, video, and copyright issues among many others. In addition, a glossary of terms is provided for the legally uninformed.

Customer rating is 1 of 5  No Legal Aspects of the Music Business Found Here!!!   2007-12-05
By D. Nelson (USA)
This book was not informative at all. There was no insight into the legal aspects of the music business. I was extremely disappointed in the content. This book was all about entertainment law in California. It did not give an overview of business law or business law practices. The title is quite misleading! Please do not waste your money on this book. I will give you mine if you'd like to have it. I will probably donate it to the library. I am sure that you will feel the same way that I do once you purchase this book...disappointed! Find another book to purchase that will live up it its name. This one did not!!
Customer rating is 5 of 5  An Excellent Intro to Music Contracts   2007-07-22
By M. A. Upshaw (Denton, TX USA)
When my Entertainment Law professor told his partners that he was going to start practicing Entertainment Law they weren't quite sure exactly what it was he was doing. They called it "Voo Doo Law", and honestly, it's not entirely untrue.

As in any business, agreements are necessary to hold parties accountable, define rights and responsibilities, and to give all parties terms they can reasonably rely on so that business can move forward. The Music Business is no different, but it has its own peculiar quirks, traditions, and problems.

This book takes all kinds of agreements between the many parties required to make a profitable, creative musical endeavor. The Author goes through band incorporation agreements, management contracts, recording and publishing agreements and explains them in ways that will benefit everyone from the aspiring 'band manager' to the experienced attorney looking to get a grasp on a new field of law.

Mr. Schulenberg examines every area of music contracts and gives plenty of demonstrations of contract language benefiting the Artist or the parties with whom the Artist is dealing.

This book also does an excellent job of addressing copyright and trademark law applicable to the music industry and giving thoughtful examination of how the digital download phenomenon is affecting the business in general.

Customer rating is 5 of 5  Intermediate Level Music Law   2007-06-01
By Adam Frange (NY, NY)
This is (for the most part), clearly written in a straightforward manner, but you'll waste a lot of time if you don't already have a foundation.

Prerequisites:

1. "Everything You Need To Know About The Music Business" (Donald Passman)
2. "Music Law: How to Run Your Band's Business" (Richard Stim)
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Good coverage   2006-05-19
By Crystal
Many people get al excited when they first try to get into the music business only to get shot down by the many intricate twists and turns involving all the legal aspects of running a record label. Mountains of forms and paperwork with no understanding slowly stack up on the producer's desk with no end in site. The situation is a cry for help and that help comes in the form of information, information obtained by reading this very interesting book that details all that is involved with law aspects of this kind.
Customer rating is 1 of 5  FUD!   2005-05-09
By Adam L. Lobaugh (Portland, OR)
So does the author work for the RIAA?" Was my first thought when poking throught this book. Nice content overall, but I simply cannot recommend this book based on one thing alone : The author uses the term "stealing" when discussing copyright infringement. Get it straight! There is a clear legal difference between 'stealing' and 'infringement'. To state things in this manner is not only misleading, but an out-and-out intentional falsehood. Just because the author feels a certain way does not make it law.
In this day and age, there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for using incorrect terms like this in a book specifically about the legal aspects of music. Thumbs way down:(
