Description

Music Law for the General Practitioner Thomas R Leavens ISBN 9781627221535

Music law encompasses several key areas, including copyrights, trademarks, and rights of publicity, among others. While traditional players such as songwriters, performers, and record companies have long been central to the industry, technological advances in digital distribution have introduced new participants and legal challenges. Issues surrounding digital music usage, licensing for advertising and branding, and the impact of portable devices and file-sharing technology have become increasingly significant.

Music Law for the General Practitioner equips lawyers with practical guidance on the business and legal matters they are likely to encounter when representing musical talent, producers, or consumers.

Topics covered include:

  • Music publishing

  • Band financing

  • Record companies and producers

  • Agents and representation

  • Tax considerations

  • Musicians’ estates

This comprehensive guide provides the knowledge practitioners need to navigate the evolving legal landscape of the music industry.
