Navigate the music business with the CMU Trends guides
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 7 August 2020
The selection of CMU Trends guides continues to grow. These form the core of the CMU Library, which exists to help you navigate and understand all the different strands of the music business.
The most recent CMU Trends guide provides a concise overview of the wider music industry in ten steps. It’s a great guide for anyone new to the business of music. But is also useful for people who have lots of experience in one area of the industry, but don’t know so much about what goes on in all the other areas.
Other guides currently available cover things like music copyright, collective licensing, sync licensing, music piracy, record deals, music marketing, catalogue marketing and the music industry’s battle against ticket touting.
There are also four guides on the streaming business. One provides an overview of the digital music market today. Another explains how digital licensing works. And then there is a guide to the ten key challenges faced by the streaming business, and a specific guide explaining all you need to know about the copyright safe harbour and the value gap campaign.
You can buy all these guides from the CMU Shop. But if you become a premium CMU subscriber, you can access them all for free.
