The first session next week looks at what rights artists and songwriters have over their music after they've assigned their copyrights to a label or publisher.
With Kanye West putting the spotlight on record deals and copyright ownership in a major way this week, this webinar provides context to the debate he's now unleashed. How does copyright assignment in the music industry work and to what extent does the law provide protections to artists and songwriters?
Other upcoming sessions will focus on streaming in key emerging markets, the ins and outs of streaming service playlists, building a fanbase and direct-to-fan business, and how brand partnerships work for artists, labels, promoters and other music companies.
The webinars take place each Tuesday afternoon at 2.30pm London time and are delivered by CMU's Chris Cooke. Attendees can also access online resources and a recording of the webinar available for a month after the live session.
