The first I would recommend is Ann Harrison’s MUSIC THE BUSINESS (4th Ed) published by Virgin Books and ISBN 1 85227 259 7. Ann is a UK lawyer. The second is by US attorney Richard Schulenberg, LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, published by Billboard Books (Watson Guptill) ISBN 0 8230 8364 0 and finally there is MUSIC BUSINESS AGREEMENTS by Richard Bagehot and Nicholas Kanaar, both solicitors in England – published by Sweet & Maxwell ISBN 0421 62450 7 - the 2nd Edition was published in 1998 and I haven’t seen an update, but an interesting read. More generally BUYING AND CLEARING RIGHTS by Richard McCracken and Madeleine Gilbart (Blueprint, ISBN 1 85713 025 1) sets out copyright in context and the process of ‘clearing’ rights for print, broadcast and multimedia.Ben Challisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513524515428334509.post-83499312632442452762010-12-28T11:37:48.120+00:002010-12-28T11:37:48.120+00:00I can recommend the following books:

These texts are written with a focus on the use of existing film footage in documentary films and video; but for exactly that reason, they address issues of fair use (U.S.) and fair dealing (Canada) in ways that are highly relevant for musicians and sound artists.<br /> <br />Howard Knopf. "The Copyright Clearance Culture and Canadian Documentaries. A White Paper on Behalf of the Documentary Organization of Canada." Nov 2006. (available online)<br /> <br />Pat Aufderheide and Peter Jaszi have compiled a study titled "Untold Stories: Creative Consequences of the Rights Clearance Culture" for the Center for Social Media that has yielded a growing section of best practices guides (http://centerforsocialmedia.org/fair-use/best-practices)<br /> <br />This could be paired with a book that's less practical, but which has direct focus on music: Joanna Demers, Steal This Music: How Intellectual Property Law Affects Musical Creativity, U of Georgia Press 2006.Martin Zeilingernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513524515428334509.post-80039184366138305642010-12-28T00:40:47.494+00:002010-12-28T00:40:47.494+00:00Michael Flint's little handbook of decades ago...Michael Flint's little handbook of decades ago had a very good flowchart for the above.Richard McD Bridgenoreply@blogger.com
