This course provides students with an opportunity to experience the practice of music law, led by an experienced practitioner and meant to simulate practicing at a law firm. After reviewing the fundamentals of pertinent intellectual property law (copyright, trademark, right of publicity), music industry structure, and relevant institutions, students will work through a series of in-depth case files focusing on such topics as talent representation, negotiating agreements, infringement standards, termination of copyright transfers, artist compensation, and legislative reform. Topics include transactional and litigation matters. The class often features guest speakers from different areas of the music business.
Except during their own presentations, students may not use computers (laptops, iPads, mobile phones, or other devices) in class without instructor permission.
Prerequisites:
A working knowledge of basic contract, copyright, and trademark law will be presumed. Thus, Contract Law, Introduction to Intellectual Property, and/or Copyright Law and Trademark Law should have been taken prior to enrolling in this course.
