Book description
This essential and highly acclaimed guide, now updated and revised in
its fifth edition, explains the possibilities and pitfalls of the
British music industry, from the developments in new media, privacy,
sponsorship and sampling to the expanding role of the internet and the
dominance of digital music.
Drawing on her extensive experience as a media lawyer, Ann Harrison
offers a unique, expert opinion on the deals, the contracts and the
business as a whole. She examines in detail the changing face of the
music business and provides absorbing case studies of huge stars such
as Robbie Williams, Ms Dynamite and Elvis Presley. Fascinating,
practical and comprehensive, this is the bible for the music industry
and indispensable reading for any musical entrepreneur.
Ann Harrison runs her own successful legal consultancy. Formerly she
was head of the music group at a leading media and entertainment law
firm. Ann specialises in copyright and contract law mainly for the
'talent' and entrepreneurial end of the business: artists, songwriters,
producers, managers, independent record labels and publishers.
