Music Business: A Musician's Guide to the Australian Music Industry

Shane Simpson's book 'Music Business' was originally published in 1994 and has been an invaluable reference tool and guide for, not only the experienced players in the industry, but also a 'must-read' for anyone interested in forging a career in the challenging, hazardous and rewarding music industry. After selling out its initial 6000 copy print runs, 'Music Business' has been fully updated and completely rewritten with the latest changes, expanded to enhance previous topics as well as take up new technologies and industry issues. Plus it's added over 150 pages to the initial edition to incorporate the array of changes in the entertainment industry as it affects music. Shane Simpson is the principal of Simpson's Solicitors, a firm specialising in intellectual property, media, arts, entertainment and new technology law. He has been a barrister, legal academic and a professional musician.
