In addition to musical ability and successful music production, one thing must not be forgotten: the legal aspects of the music business. In order to avoid getting into unpleasant legal disputes, Musikrecht - Die 100 wichtigsten Fragen des Musikgeschäfts (Music Law - The 100 Most Important Questions in the Music Business ) deals with important issues around this topic. The contents are well-founded, but the language is deliberately kept uncomplicated. This specialist book dispenses with technical definitions and paragraph wrangling in order to provide comprehensible, accurate and up-to-date information. The topics covered are:
General copyright law
Composers, lyricists and music publishers
The GEMA
Musicians and record companies
The GVL
Band organisation
Producers, sound engineers and DJs
The own label
The own music publisher
For ease of use, the book also includes a list of abbreviations and an index. Addresses, the bibliography and excerpts from the UrhG make it possible to obtain further information.
