The Questions:
People often say as an Artist "You are the Business". If so, what are the steps I need to take to set my business up properly? ...and is this different for Producers?
What are some important legal things that I need to do from the start in order to protect my business, my brand, and my intellectual property?
As an indie artist or producer with little or no budget, how would you suggest that I obtain some type of legal counsel when confronted with different contracts? (i.e. management, production, etc.)
Is it true that Record labels can own my name when they sign m
e? How do I retain those rights?
Once and for all...Am I protected by the "Poor Man's Copyright" or is it a myth?
When working with producers should I file my own copyright or can we file together? If together/separate, which form do I use?
What other common legal issues should I keep an eye out for?
