Product Overview
Welcome to Intro To Music Publishing: A Creative and Business Perspective For Musicians. This 2 part entry level video series is based on Bobby Borg’s popular book Business Basics For Musicians, and is for beginners who want to understand the fundamentals of music publishing, as well as for more advanced musicians who need a solid business refresher.
Both parts are presented in a conversational and easy-to-follow style, and in part one, Bobby Borg (a seasoned musician, consultant, author, and educator) with Michael Eames (the owner of a successful publishing firm), break down topics into two main categories: 1) Copyright Basics and 2) Income Streams. Sub categories include everything from understanding how to divide percentage shares in a song, registering your copyrights, and fighting infringement claims, to understanding mechanical, performance, synch, print, electronic transmissions, and foreign sub publishing incomes.
In part two of the video series, the guys break down the topics covered into three main categories: 1) Publishing Deals, 2) Your Songs, and 3) Creativity, Innovation, and Promotion. Sub categories include everything from understanding what publishers do and starting your own publishing company, to understanding elements of a great song and how to pitch and promote them to professionals, to expanding your revenue streams and harnessing your creative powers.
The unique position of this course is that it is presented with the intention of “breaking down the basics so that it sticks.” To do this, the most important fundamentals are emphasized focusing on your rights in your music and lyrics, United States Copyright law, and the 1976 Copyright Right Act and all of its amendments and revisions to the most current laws.

Good information. But, technically very difficult to listen to.
Please use two microphones when doing this sort of production. The conversation is constantly shifting back and forth between the two hosts. The boom guy in a little slow and we can hear the room on too many occasions. It is very distracting.

Essential viewing for EVERY musician...
Even as a professional songwriter, I'm always baffled by the complexity of music publishing. These videos help to lift the veil and empower any musician at any level to better understand how things actually work! I wish there was a way to make this course mandatory viewing for anyone entering into a career in the music business. It would probably save everyone a lot of headaches. Thank you Michael and Bobby for explaining how things work in such a comprehensive yet easy-to-understand way. Knowledge is POWER!

I was familiar with Bobby Borg from watching some of his tutorial videos that are available on YouTube. As for this series I would request that they update it by including some of the changes to copyright law enshrined in the recently passed MMA (Music Modernization Act).
