Music Business Legal Check List: Five Things You Better Think About and DoSponsored by the Dallas Bar Sports and Entertainment Law Section Thursday, March 10th from 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM at Banter, 219 West Oak Street, Denton, TX 76201
This free and open to the public presentation will assist the new or established musician/artist/music business professional in navigating the ins-and-outs of legal issues involved in the music business. The panel will address 1) when key team members such as a manager, attorney or booking agent should become involved in an artist’s career; 2) who owns the content – songs, sound recordings, trademarks; 3) do you need a written agreement or is a hand-shake between the band members enough; 4) how do you raise money for the next record; and 5) what revenue streams are out there.
