Do you know the difference between owning your publishing and owning your masters?
If you've ever looked at a royalty statement, a record deal, or a publishing contract and felt completely lost, you're not alone. The music industry runs on two separate forms of ownership—the publishing (the song itself) and the master (the specific recording of that song)—and most artists, songwriters, and producers struggle to explain the difference in plain language.
This book changes that.
Music Publishing and Masters is your straightforward, no-jargon guide to understanding the two copyrights that determine who gets paid, who owns what, and how money actually flows in the music business. Whether you're a songwriter wondering why you're owed money from a song you didn't perform, a recording artist trying to understand why your label owns your masters, a producer figuring out your points and publishing splits, or simply someone curious about how the business of music actually works—this book is written for you.
