Making music – your rights

Arts Law and you, striking the right cord at the 2012 iNTune Conference, Darwin NT

Arts Law understands how important your music is to you. From writing
partnerships, band collaboration, vocal leads to mashing wicked samples,
making sure everyone understands their legal rights is vital.

This session will cover:

  • Copyright the basics: How it works.

  • Sharing the wealth: The rights of the music writer, lyricist, vocalist and performers.

  • Making sure everyone is covered: Band agreements – you need them.

  • Sad songs: Band and collaborative break ups are hard so Arts Law will provide case studies to help you understand your rights and responsibilities.

Artists in the Black (AITB) highlight:

  • Deadly music: How AITB works with Indigenous musicians to inform them of their rights.
