A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Are you a recording artist, songwriter, music business manager, music industry executive, publisher, music/TV/radio journalist, media student, accountant or lawyer? Are you fascinated by the world of the music industry that fills out daily papers? If the answer is yes, Music: The Business will tell you everything you need to know.

Fully revised and updated to embrace the new challenges of the Internet downloads, ringtones and the huge changes at the major labels, this indispensable book answers all the questions, demystifies all the jargon, reveals the facts behind the headlines and the real figures underlying those multimillion pound deals, while offering practical and essential help and advice.

Using case studies including those of Elton John, Robbie Williams and George Michael, as well as utilising her extensive experience as a music lawyer, Ann Harrison describes the precedents that have helped shape the body of UK music law as it stands today, but, even more importantly in an age of exponentially rapid technological change, shows the options for the future. Offering a unique expert opinion on some of the most important decisions you will face, Music: The Business looks at all the leading cases and their impact upon the music business - how they changed the deals, the contracts and, in some cases the whole way the business operates.

Accaimed as the essential guide to the industry, Music: the Business - unlike other music guides - focuses principally on the British music business explaining its pitfalls and possibilities with clarity and insight. Fascinating, practical and above all comprehensive, Music: The Business could be one of the most important books you ever buy.
