Music copyright is an important thing to protect - and also happens to be one of the least understood areas of the industry, though it holds potential for big profits and large losses if it isn't handled right.
I came across this book, much like any other... with low expectations. Usually books on the music business are only good for two things... insomnia and doorstops. But this one pleasantly surprised me.
First of all, the introduction is by Tom Petty, a musician, I truly respect. So, there's that.
Secondly, the author, a songwriter in his own right, seems to have a way of easily conveying complex ideas almost effortlessly. He's even funny.
If you know nothing about music publishing. This is your book. You'll be amazed at what you don't know. If you DO know something about music publishing. This is your book. You'll be amazed at what you don't know.
This book demystifies everything about music publishing.
The title says it all. It's EXACTLY that. It's surprisingly easy to read and actually makes sense out of the complex inner working of music publishing.
This is a MUST HAVE reference book for all songwriters.
YES, you can still profit from your music even in an age of digital distribution.
Go get em.
