An edited collection addressing the current and emerging challenges and opportunities at the intersection between the music industry, law, and legal practice.
The music business is a multifaceted, transnational industry that operates within complex and rapidly changing political, economic, cultural and technological contexts. The mode and manner of how music is created, obtained, consumed and exploited is evolving rapidly. It is based on relationships that can be both complimentary and at times confrontational, and around roles that interact, overlap and sometimes merge, reflecting the competing and coinciding interests of creative artists and music industry professionals. It falls to music law and legal practice to provide the underpinning framework to enable these complex relationships to flourish, to provide a means to resolve disputes, and to facilitate commerce in a challenging and dynamic business environment. The Present and Future of Music Law presents thirteen case studies written by experts in their fields, examining a range of key topics at the points where music law and the post-digital music industry intersect, offering a timely exploration of the current landscape and insights into the future shape of the interface between music business and music law.
For anyone considering a career in music whether as songwriter, performer or working on the business side this book takes the reader through the myriad of legal issues and areas that one is likely to encounter today. The Present and Future of Music Law brings together both academic views and those of the legal practitioners who are currently working at the coalface of our industry providing clear legal perspective and examining the complexities and challenges that are inherent in the modern music industry. * Nigel Elderton, PRS Chairman and European President, Peermusic *
This is a much-needed, illuminating book for both aspiring musicians and seasoned practitioners. Written by a refreshingly gender-equal selection of experienced music industry professionals, it illustrates in an accessible and engaging manner the important role law plays in the business of music, shaping a broad range of aspects such as artist management, live events and branding agreements. * Ananay Aguilar, Affiliated Researcher, Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law, University of Cambridge, and co-editor of Remixing Music Studies: Essays in Honour of Nicholas Cook (2020) *
This book will no doubt be very helpful to anyone working in the music industry. Understanding the topics covered in this book has never been more important, particularly for music makers. I wish we had had such a book when my career started. * Graham Massey, record producer, remixer, musician, artist and founding member of 808 State *
