The past two decades have seen file-sharing technology and digital streaming services transform the music business from top to bottom, and the changes keep coming at breakneck speed. How are record labels adapting to the demand for instantly accessible, low-cost music while coping with piracy? And what does it all mean for aspiring and established artists today?

Donald Passman, one of the most trusted music lawyers in the country, offers his sage advice for creating, selling, sharing, and protecting your music in the Information Age in this updated eighth edition of All You Need to Know About the Music Business. Called “the industry bible” by the Los Angeles Times, Passman’s comprehensive guide—which has sold hundreds of thousands of copies over the past twenty years—draws on his unparalleled experience and up-to-the-minute knowledge of industry trends.

Executives and artists, experts and novices alike, will benefit from Passman’s detailed yet easy-to-understand explanations of the latest technology, legalities, and practices shaping the music business, such as:

• Royalties for music transmitted via digital down- loads, streaming services, cloud lockers, and apps

• Updated licensing regulations and industry agreements

• The most recent recording and music publishing deals

• The new challenges for performing rights societies

He also gives guidance on the basics, such as how to:

• Select and hire a winning team of advisors— personal and business managers, agents, and attorneys—and structure their commissions, percentages, and fees in a way that will protect you and maximize these relationships

• Master the major and finer points of contract negotiations

• Navigate the ins and outs of songwriting and music publishing

• Maximize concert, touring, and merchandising agreements

Anyone interested in making and marketing music—musicians, songwriters, agents, promoters, publishers, managers, and record company executives—needs this crucial text to keep up with the frenetic pace of technological and legal change. No one understands the music business better than Passman. Let him show you how to “make it” in one of the world’s most dynamic and challenging industries.

{PRETITLE} All You Need to Know About the Music Business {POSTTITLE}

Passman's book is one of the best. Bar-none it's the best music industry "starter's guide". Passman nails the big points, uses humor to explain difficult concepts, and even maps out the ways to read/engage it. The only downside? It's not "All You Need to Know" in the 21st century.

The book lacks depth on some key areas (to be frank, it'd be hard for one book could hold it all). More emphasis is put on deals that most artists will never see, while important elements like online video (YouTube), streaming models, "DIY" and the like that would have greater impact for the masses are less noticeable. It'd be great to see him supplement this in the next iteration (these are released every 3 years) and by then we'll probably be onto another outlet.

Must-read as a starter guide, just don't expect it to be "All You Need to Know". There's more to the industry than is contained therein.

this was used as a text book in my college classes, given to me again to read at my first job at harry fox, and i'm now reading it for the 3rd time with the new updates. this is the best book out there if you want to know about the workings of the music industry.
