Cover Your Tunes! Legal Protections for Musicians
Few artists think about operating their music careers as businesses, but they should. Musicians want to be musicians first, but being successful in the field requires a solid, organized business foundation and an understanding of intellectual property ownership, protection, and licensing.
Many musicians aren't familiar with the benefits of setting up an independent business entity through which they can contract, own equipment, own intellectual property, and limit personal liability. The intricacies of having to separately license the rights to perform, record, or use music in a film present additional challenges. This panel seeks to help musicians navigate these issues practically.
