Review:

"Explains the business side of running a band from a legal perspective.... Covers downloads and other Internet issues." "Reference & Research Book News""

From the Publisher:
"Every Band's Business Bible"--Independent Publisher
Music isn’t just an art form, it’s a business.

Fortunately, for bands who love the art of their job, but sing the blues when it comes to the business, there’s Music Law. Composed by musician and lawyer Richard Stim, the book explains how to book performances, choose a name and protect its use, copyright song lyrics, establish legal ownership of songs, sample legally, sign contracts, write a band partnership agreement and more.

The best guide available for bands today, Music Law provides all the legal information and practical advice musicians need to keep from getting burned. All legal forms and agreements included, as tear-outs and on disk.

"Well organized, practically deisgned and clearly written, the book has one tiny fault. It should have been called 'Every Band's Business Bible'. It's that good. And that necessary."--Independent Publisher

"One of the best books I’ve seen that addresses all of the issues that face a band today, in addition to those of the individual musician. Unlike most lawyers, Richard’s writing is clear and concise and he provides the reader with a wealth of information and all of the necessary contracts that will effectively protect today’s up and coming bands. This book is a must for anyone that is in a band--from the novice in a garage band to the professional."--Todd M. Gascon, Esq., Lawyer Referral Services Coordinator, California Lawyers for the Arts

"Stim's book is a godsend to anyone in a rock and roll band. I wish I had read it ten years ago -- it would have saved me a lot of aggravation."--Dean Wareham, singer and guitarist for LUNA
