In this session we explore the following: Can you be credited as a songwriter without writing any music? Why does Enya control 100% of a Rihanna song? Is a stream a performance or a reproduction? In this stimulating one hour session, attendees will be introduced to key terms and concepts and learn all about the murky world of music publishing.

Attendees will be able to speak confidently and fluently on all areas of music publishing, negotiate terms, understand basic deals and know when and how to obtain sync licences and sampling clearances.
