If you're an artist and you have no clue about what is happening with your music rights and publishing, you need to get your life right. Also, if you're an artist and are not privy of what the current conversation about the Copyright Amendment Bill that parliament is trying to put into place is, you also need to completely fix your life. We gave you the 5 reasons why the bill will hurt artists' pockets a while back, and now we have the privilege of sitting with someone who is on the forefront of this fight, Wiseman Ngubo, spokesman of the Copyright Alliance who is also from CAPASSO.
He briefly breaks down what publishing is, along with what music rights CAPASSO is responsible for before he gets into just what the Copyright Amendment Bill will mean to artists. All I'm saying is, I can't imagine all my hard work being owned by someone else and them making money out of it without my knowledge. WAIT! I actually can, but that's a whole other conversation. On the real, please educate yourself about these seemingly "boring" things so you can know how to protect your livelihood as a musician.
Ps. Wiseman Ngubo is going to be on the panel for #MusicUnscripted this weekend addressing the same topics.
