One of the most buzzed-about sessions at the 2011 Future of Music Policy Summit was our lunchtime workshop on Tuesday, October 4 on “The Band as a Business.” Presented by Paul Rapp, attorney/musician/community radio leader/writer and Adjunct Professor of Law at Albany Law School, and Marcy Rauer Wagman, managing partner at Wagman Hurwitz & Dickman and Associate Professor at Drexel University, the hour-long workshop was a practical primer on what you need to do to protect what you have, avoid train wrecks and get everything that’s coming to you as a working musician. Marcy and Paul discussed forming a business entity, forming a publishing company, trademarks, copyrights, performing righs organizations and digital aggregators. We’re delighted that Paul and Marcy let us post their “Band as a Business” workshop slides.
