SHARK-INFESTED WATERS
Oct 1, 2006 12:00 PM, Kylee Swenson
The music industry changes every day. No one knows that more than music attorneys. In reaction to the ever-morphing world of the music business, attorney and author Donald S. Passman is releasing the 6th edition of his book, All You Need to Know About the Music Business (Free Press) this November. Passman has been accumulating accolades for his book since its first edition in 1991, and for good reason. With chapters on working with managers, attorneys, agents, promoters and television supervisors; record-deal advances, recoupment and negotiation; royalties, publishing, copyright, marketing, merchandising, sync licenses and more, All You Need packs a punch.
New issues covered include downloads, Webcasting, streaming-on-demand, podcasting, digital royalties, upstream label deals and changes in the traditional industry. In 400-plus pages, there are tons of informed examples, advice and a few warnings for good measure. From broad overviews to explanations about the nitty gritty (you'll even find yourself doing math), All You Need is a must read for musicians who want to stop getting screwed in the music industry.
