Music Law takes a practical look at representing performers, bands, songwriters, and others in the music industry. We will look at both the law and the industry, exploring the agreements that transfer rights between the various parties and case law affecting those rights, as well as examining the industry itself and who those parties are in the industry. Students will benefit from the insight of guest speakers from various areas of the industry. Topics typically include: recording agreements, band agreements, touring, merchandising, licensing, songwriting, music publishing, management, etc.
