Music Publishing covers the basics of how a composition is copyrighted, published, and promoted. When we think of publishing, we often think of the printed, physical form- sheet music- that a composition may take. However, publishing in the music business goes far beyond the physical sheet-it includes live performance and mechanical (recording) rights, and income streams from licensing deals of various kinds. A single song can generated over 30 different royalty streams, and a writer must know how these royalties are calculated and who controls the flow of the money. | Music Publishing by Ron Sobel, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
