how is it not? by ur logic i can go out and sell 50 Cent cds without permission. Yea its copyrighted and its not mine and legally no u cant sell something that isnt urs without prior permission. This is basic stuff u should have learned before grade school. In reality people dont do that tho. They make the beat then let artist deal with the legalities. Its one of those it aint illegal if i dont get caught things.
 
haha yeah, im wrong, my bad.hahaha... allthough it does depend on what country you're in :P haha... i know lame but the best i got!
 
does anybody know of a good (preferably easy or in layman's terms)
book on this side of music/ music law?
i just don't wanna have to read a fricken law book ya know. somthen like a dummies guide to music biz type stuff?
 
i dont! but dude, seriously, why d you care?!! if your big time enough to be worth gettin sued, you will have a lawyer, & if your not, well as the rock said IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!!!
 
back to reality, the more you know the better off you are an the less you get screwed. this is called common sense. :)
also when your shoping around to production agencies and to advertising firms it's good to know about the technicalities.
 
hahaha, first off common sense aint always coorect, (research the famous quamtumn two slit experiment! lol)


second, i jus think that your time would be better spent practisin & experimenting, raather than readin books on stuff that you'll probably never use!
 
sorry not to sound rude by why would you never use this info?... i agree it's not the most fun nor interesting topic. but as it goes if your in the game for real then you better know the rules... right?... thats what i was refering to as the common sense part.

to put it in layman's terms.... don't hustle if you can't count ya cash
 
i cant imagine i'd use it. thats what lawyers are for!



afterall lawyers dont make beats lol

peace
 
nah but they do know how to **** you outta your money if you don't knw ****
 
are you just playing devils advocate?.... not everyone can just throw money at every problem... some of us live in the real world.... where capatalisim has meaning
 
haha, maaaaaan.


ok, lets wrap this up. im not lookin for a row.
my point earlier was if u are worth being sued, then your gonna be able to afford people to stop u gettin sued.

ok.

so yes we have a difference in opinion & no i dont want to row on a forum about a trivial difference in opinion,

my advice:


forget the book, work on your skills so you can be in a position to be worth getting sued one day... and pay somebody to ensure you dont get sued


his advice:

get the book & read it


peace

How about the rich black dudes with afros :confused:
 
Here's a book with information, that you may never use, but if you do have to use it you'll be happy you read....
Good for beginners!

Music Law
How to Run Your Band's Business
By Rich Stim

Really Easy to Read with Fill in the Blank Documents on CD.
$49.99 but you can probably get it cheaper at a discount place....

Hope this helps
 
Just thought I'd throw something else in here. It is a common practice for artists to pay a "deposit" for your beat, lets say 1/2 of the full price, which they have to pay you whatever. If they can't clear the sample then that is all you get, and you would only get your second 1/2 if they are able to clear the sample.
