Music Biz 2017: Who Gets Paid for YOUR Music

Please note that Monday, May 15 consists of pre-convention meetings, digital service workshops, the Entertainment & Technology Law Conference, and the Industry Jam 2. The full program will take place Tuesday, May 16 through Thursday, May 18.

Who Gets Paid for YOUR Music

Organized by MusicRowSearch

Who gets paid: the middle man or you? In what proportion and with how much accountability? During this panel, we'll review the latest on drilling money down to creators. Whether you share in a royalty pool or cash regular checks for a quarter, or negotiate new deals, you’ll want to join this discussion on how money travels from fan to artist. Part of the backdrop for this topic is a case working its way through German courts right now and will wash up on our shores before very long.
