This book is about music business from a stand point of a lawyer.
It clears in every nuance the evolution of royalty fees and music media including the evolution of different regulations and lawsuits.

Even though it covers only U.S. laws, it is very insightful in making money with music, and paying for the music as a whole where lots of things in the book is universally applicable to any country.

Despite the fact that this book is about laws and royalty fees, it is very easy readable, written in light understandable language and makes interesting points in examples, covering aspects that need to be resolved in the industry in future, as well as covering today`s and past success stories for keeping in edge and getting profit in the future music media.

I highly recommend this book to anybody who has a professional interest in music business and willing to make a career in this area.
As well for those who are interested in why the media plays exactly the music it does, how much they pay to whom, what are the amount that artists or other parties earn for that and why.

A book which all musicians, audio engineers, producers and managers MUST read and own. Its very informative and very easy to read and understand.
