A Note on Free Contracts...

One thing I've learned through my years in the biz: There are are good contracts and bad contracts, useless ones and dangerous ones - do you know the difference??? Non-Personalized Contracts cost way too much in how they've hurt people's careers. Way too many people on both the Creative and the Business sides of the fence have come to me lately to get them out of either poorly written as well as often Just Plain Dangerous-to-Their-Careers Contracts.

They've paid for it dearly in wasted money they didn't make - or paid me to help them "Get me out of this!" - as well as valuable career time.

Simply put: Contracts Must fit the Exact Person & Exact Situation! You will see that, it's not always just what's IN a Contract that can hurt you, but just as often, what's been Left Out of the Contract!

Free Advice: Pay a little money now [to save a lot, later] to get a correctly written Personalized Contract from a Music Business Contract Specialist or reputable Entertainment Attorney - and save yourself a lot of money, grief and valuable career time...

We offer you an inexpensive but completely professional alternative...

Very Important Note: Please, Please, Please come to me, or see an experienced entertainment attorney BEFORE you sign a contract, or, if you are in the business side, BEFORE you give out one to a potential artist, writer, partner, whatever. It's much easier and cheaper to prevent a tragedy from happening than to come to me after some damage has been done. It seems I spend half my contract work hours, trying to get people OUT of contracts they never should have signed! Meanwhile a lot of career time and money has been wasted needlessly.

Important Note: For those that feel that they need to get a much better overall picture regarding music business contracts, [Translation - You're afraid of getting ripped off!] I offer you this straight to the point, informative Mini-Course, entitled: "Music Business Law: Contract Basics". It was an important part of the "Entertainment Law" class that I designed and taught in the Music Business Division at the Art Institute of Philadelphia from 1991-1998.

Included in this "Better-Safe-Than-Sorry" course are the important words, terms, phrases and "clauses" to look out for in a contract that can hurt you - as well as what's been left out of a contract that can help you! [If written and inserted correctly!] Presented in Outline Form, it also includes important Contract Points and Negotiating Tactics that will help you throughout your career in regards to understanding most Music Business as well as other types of Entertainment-related contracts. This inexpensive, one-shot course is presented in simple, down-to-earth "people-talk".

One thing I can promise you: The contents of this course will save you a fortune throughout your music business career. And just as importantly, it will also save you quite a lot of wasted time, energy and aggravation.
