Many of us devote our lives, energy, talents, funding, and sanity to music. But what is it? Music is humanly organised sound. The birds and bees may also make pretty sounds. But despite the effusions of the poets, such sounds are not music by definition. According to Jean-Claude Risset : “Music is what you listen to when you feel like listening to music” (“La musique c’est ce que l’on écoute quand on a envie d’écouter de la musique”).

musiclaw.info is a website devoted to music. It is aimed at offering free information & resources about music & the music industry.

Today is an exciting time for musicians to break into the music business as technology improves and different options become available to them.  However, the music business is a business, first and foremost, in which a band or musician wanting to break into this industry must learn to navigate and manage so that they too can be successful. 

A musician or band must first understand the aspects of their band and turn it into a business and treat it as such.  The deeper you get involved in the industry, the more you must understand how each component of the industry such as, copyright, publishing, performing rights affects you.  Then understand the different branches of the music industry such as record companies, producers, managers, business managers, talent agents and promoters work together to make the most of your product, your band. 

This site will give you the basic understanding of the different aspects and components of the music business by accessing the various links below.
