We got your back guys!While entertainment law is not rocket science -- it can quickly get complex. Hopefully this article will help you stay out of trouble by providing enough information to allow you to ask the right questions. To cover all these topics in this article I've played fast and loose with some complex legal issues so do not rely on this article for legal advice. Check out the books I've listed and talk to more experienced musicians. And if you've got questions regarding these issues, contact an attorney familiar with entertainment law, your state law, and your particular situation.
PublishingAh, the mysteries of music publishing. A fascinating history, a complex present, and an uncertain future. In today's market there are many good reasons to have a firm understanding of music publishing. The most important one for the purposes of this article is that it is through publishing your music that you can collect your performance royalties. For example, your CD says that all your music is published by Your Name Music Publishing, ASCAP, 1999. Again, in theory, if your songs are played, the radio station lets ASCAP know that they played your songs and sends ASCAP a check. ASCAP then looks up the songs on their registration, sure enough, there they are, registered to Your Name Music Publishing, and they cut you a check -- in theory.

Song registration is also the way to let your performing rights organization know how to divide up the royalties. For example, go back to the recording agreement discussion, let's say that you agree to cut the engineer in for a piece of that royalty pie because of her great arrangement ideas. This is one way to do it, list her as a co-writer on the song registration form and give her 10% of any artist-rights performance royalties. (The song registration form will draw a distinction between artist-rights and publishing-rights. While this is a very important distinction, it is beyond the scope of this article.) Please note that most organizations require that everyone who gets paid must be a registered song writer with some performing rights organization. This means that you must also register as a song writer with your organization as well as register as a publisher.shmizproductions shmiz productions Shmiz Productions ShmizProductions

  • Sean Siboni,

    I understand that your opening a shop. Good for you. You owe me $2200. I want you to pay me back $1100. When will you take care of this? I have waited 1 year and 6 months.
