CALIFORNIA LAWYERS FOR THE ARTS PRESENTS

The Musicians Guide to Copyright: Everything You Need To Know About Protecting Your Work!

with Boyana Bounkova

This workshop will provide songwriters and musicians with important information about how to protect your original music. You will learn the basics of copyright law, including the difference between protecting a composition and a sound recording, the rules (and mechanical royalties required) for performing cover versions of others’ copyrighted songs and what is considered a “fair use” of others’ copyrighted works. You will also learn about music licensing, synchronization and the collection of public performance royalties in the U.S. and Europe.
