In this course, Tonya Butler, .D., LL.M. covers mechanical income, public performance income, licenses, PROs, publishers, record labels, and other topics pertaining to music copyrights. I particularly enjoyed the guest lectures from David Israelite and Madison Norris, among others. The well-produced lectures made the material easier to understand; I would recommend this class to anyone who wants a basic understanding of how copyrightable works can generate income.
