Part Three, of a 4-Part Series, titled "Music Industry Legal & Business Workshops."

With Gordon P. Firemark, Esq.

This workshop will provide a brief overview of the current film and television music landscape, particularly in an era of shrinking budgets and fragmented audiences. We'll navigate typical composing and licensing agreements, shed light on strategies for negotiating the best possible deal, and highlight the most common pitfalls. You'll learn: copyright law fundamentals for composers and songwriters; terms and conditions of a typical film composer deal; how to retain ownership of your music when dealing with independent filmmakers; when to say "no" to a "work made for hire" provision; terms of typical Master Use and Synchronization License Agreements; and how to make sure you get your PRO royalties.
