BUSE 370 Music Industry Deals

The music business is built on relationships that are formalized by legal transactions that outline the rights and responsibilities of those involved. Students will have the opportunity to read, review, understand, and analyze contemporary agreements pertaining to a variety of aspects of the music business. Students will also have the opportunity to engage with both collaborators and adversaries in the evaluation and negotiation of important agreements, and should learn to pinpoint and apply concepts such as bargaining power, industry standards, incentivation, risk and uncertainty, party expectations, and more. This class aims to educate students on the real-life business of ‘doing the deals’ that keep the music business running.
