Pride Law

​

While creativity and music may drive you, remember that you are an entrepreneur. If you were starting a coffee shop with a friend you would want to sort out the business terms before getting involved, right? 

 

Is every member an equal partner in your business? It’s important to understand expectations and assign roles early on when everyone is cooperative and on good terms. It’s too late to discuss who owned the band’s name when someone is seeking to leave the group. Set the bar. Expect that you will be very successful with your projects and take every endeavor on as a multimillion-dollar profiting project and not at the value it cost you to produce it. 

 

Creating and using music in today’s digital world creates substantial opportunities, but can also pose high risks. Technology and media industries continue to evolve. We can help you navigate music platforms and the complex related copyright laws.
