I know the title is kind of coming on strong but bear with me lol
I just wanted to know the legality aspect of getting together a little movement like an independent label/entertainment entity
I want to know the benefits of getting incorporated and getting logos and artwork trademarked, I'm learning about copyright but I need some guidance on starting a label and what steps I should take business wise in order to stay afloat.
Should I get an attorney? I'm gonna have a facility to serve as the home base to record the music so thats checked off, should I get in touch with BMI or ascap as far as royalties? What about signing artists? How do I make a contract for them so we both dont get F'd in the A or I dont get "Priority Recorded" With baseball bats? lol
And I also dj so how can I use that to my advantage?
Please add anything I forgot to mention as im completely new to this,thanks guys
