How to Make a Living from Music (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789280533248)

Building a successful career in music includes managing intellectual property (IP) rights. WIPO supports authors and performers in enhancing their knowledge of the intellectual property aspects involved in their professional work. Copyright and related rights can help musical authors and performers generate additional income from their talent. Music can make you laugh, cry, feel sad, romantic or happy. It can make you want to move your body and dance. It can heighten drama or create a feeling of peace and tranquility. It has the power to influence politics, help fight disease and drive commerce. Imagine a film where all the music was removed. It would be a radically different and poorer experience.
