Music Publishing 101 was inspired by all of the questions one may have about how it all works, especially with the increasingly complicated copyright laws in the United States.

This site is meant to be a general overview and is by no means an end-all-be-all resource, as EVERYTHING is negotiable. Copyright law is there to protect us, but there are many things that can be superseded by a signed contract.
Before you sign ANY agreement you don’t fully understand, consult an attorney that
  • you can trust
  • specializes in contracts like yours
  • isn’t working for the other party
