Verse Two: Publishing Contracts (& Other Licensing Deal Terms) (3/19/11)
In part two of the seminar, we’ll introduce the role of the music publisher. This part explores the different types of publishing agreements and the particular deal points to be negotiated. We will also discuss the major deal terms of any licensing contract, focusing on licenses for film, television, commercial, and video games. At the conclusion of this seminar, we’ll discuss the importance of treating your career like a business and walk you through the steps for creating your own business as songwriter/self-publisher; and we’ll present the additional factors a business person should consider in creating a full-fledged publishing company.
- The role of a music publisher.
- Material contract terms of a co-publishing and administration agreement.

Verse Three: Singer-Songwriters and Recording Agreements – Implications on Publishing (4/16/11)

This part explores the interplay between songwriting, publishing deals, and recording contracts – examining the differences in copyright protection between musical compositions (songs) and sound recordings (masters), highlighting the impact of the controlled composition clause of a recording agreement on a songwriter’s publishing, and looking to the role of the “360 deal” on the future of music publishing (if any).
- Musical Composition & Sound Recording – Knowing the Different Rights and Organizations.
- Which Came First?: Publishing Deal or Recording Contract.
- The Impact of the Controlled Composition Clause on Publishing.
- “360 Deals” and their Impact on Music Publishing (if any).
