Taught by Jacob Janzen with Start Art Legal, this workshop will give an overview of Intellectual Property laws and focus more narrowly on how Copyright law relates to musicians.
We will cover how to protect your own creations as well as how to protect yourself from infringing on the creations of others. We will also discuss the many different types of Contracts that will likely come up in a music career and what to look for in those agreements.
