Description
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.
Make no mistake: Intro To Music Publishing: A Creative and Business Perspective For Musicians is not intended to be the last word in music publishing. Rather, while providing you with a strong foundation upon which almost anyone can solve their music publishing problems, it encourages you, and offers the resources to dig deeper and learn more on your own.

The questions at the end of each segment, where answers are not provided, are mostly why only I've given 2 stars. If it doesn't provide certification, then I can't reasonably be expected to do homework. Solid information foundation presented by personalities that are eccentric, which gives an "At the Movies" meets "Wanye's World" vibe; information is also a bit dated as it's mentioned that it was made in 2018. Also focuses, for the greater part, on United States laws and treaties.
It cast light to areas that are full of details and can be sometimes pretty intimidating. And those two guys know their stuff! Fantastic!
They really break down the basics so it sticks! Really high level stuff for the beginner musician. After watching this tutorial, I ordered Bobby's books. Incredibly helpful and comprehensive.

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.
