The music entertainment industry is a constantly changing mixture of traditional and newly emerging structures and formats for the exploitation of creative endeavors, presenting local and global challenges and opportunities. The business is interdisciplinary in nature, a combination of intellectual property issues (i.e., trademarks, copyrights, unfair competition, licensing), transactional needs (drafting and negotiating of contracts), and domestic and international law concerns.
