The Musician's Business and Legal Guide

by Mark Halloran

Demystifies the music business and the indecipherable body of law which shapes it! Definitive in scope and written specifically for musicians and songwriters by top professionals currently working in the industry, this book provides substantive information on actual practices —with clause-by-clause commentaries on all major contracts in the industry, featuring extensive analyses, not just forms and casual commentary. Clarifies the language, shows actual practices, and offers advice on what to watch for. Requires no background in law or business; is written in plain English, not "legalese." Chapters are written by lawyers, managers, agents and business people working in the music industry in New York and Los Angeles.

Read what you need from it. Don't need to read this front to back, but it has great advice for legal stuff that you're needing.
