Book Reviews of Kohn on Music Licensing

Book Review: "Kohn On Music Licensing" is absolutely complete (and almost overwhelming)
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm a former performer and new attorney, interested in music licensing. I am doing legal work for 3 friends who are producing independent films. I took a Copyright & Trademark class in law school.

I also previously purchased "Business and Legal Forms for Fine Arts" by Tad Crawford, "Music Law: How To Run Your Band's Business" by Rich Stim, "Business and Legal Forms for the Fine Arts" by Tad Crawford, "So You Want To Be A Producer" by Lawrence Turman, and "Law and Business Of The Entertainment Industries", 5th edition, by Donald Biederman et al.

"Kohn on Music Licensing" 3rd edition is complete and a bit overwhelming with over 1600 pages, but it is the perfect book - it really does contain everything I need to know. I skipped around in the book for a few days, finding answers to nagging questions, then I decided to just read the entire book. I'm on page 45, and I'm constantly marking the book with pencil and re-reading pages. I tried to take this book to the beach - it's too heavy!

I like "Music Licensing: How To Run Your Band's Business" as a broad overview to get started, but if you really want to learn how to license music, this is your book. The CD is also complete and almost overwhelming. Please don't think that overwhelming means very difficult to read (although I don't claim that it's easy to read) - this book is written in a conversational style, not just dry text. I say it's overwhelming because there is so much important information here. I can flip to any page and learn something new and important and useful.

I'm glad I found this book. I felt inadequate when my friends asked me questions. Oh, and it includes typical license fees - I love that...
