Do you hide under the bushes when someone mentions the word “lawyers”?
The music and entertainment business has always been a treacherous place for artists who don’t know the legal side of being a creative. Many of us are frightened by the terminology and confused by the legalities, not to mention the financial cost of legal assistance.
That’s why we talked to an attorney with a heart for artists, to help us get over the fear of legally protecting and profiting from your creativity. .
