On 25 August I took part in the book launch for The Present and Future of Music Law, a collection edited by Tony Rigg, a music industry practitioner, business consultant and educator affiliated with the University of Central Lancashire, and Ann Harrison, a partner at SSB Solicitors Limited and the author of the classic guidebook, Music: The Business.
It was a game of two halves. In the first section, Rigg and Harrison discussed the current state of music law with industry experts, including Peter Hook of Joy Division and New Order, music industry executive Silvia Montello, and Sumit Bothra, the director of the management company ATC.
The second half featured the contributing authors introducing their chapters in discussion with the editors. I led the way with my chapter, ‘Copyright, Royalties and Industrial Decline’, which opens the book.
The launch is available via YouTube (my bit starts around the 50:30 mark):
The Present and Future
of Music Law is a great collection but as an academic publication it has a
typically high price. However, for a limited period there is a discount if ordered direct from the publisher, Bloomsbury.
