"Kohn On Music Licensing" is absolutely complete (and almost overwhelming) Jul 15, 2009
By Andrea Lia
I'm a former performer and new attorney, interested in music licensing. I am doing legal work for 3 friends who are producing independent films. I took a Copyright & Trademark class in law school.
I also previously purchased "Business and Legal Forms for Fine Arts" by Tad Crawford, "Music Law: How To Run Your Band's Business" by Rich Stim, "Business and Legal Forms for the Fine Arts" by Tad Crawford, "So You Want To Be A Producer" by Lawrence Turman, and "Law and Business Of The Entertainment Industries", 5th edition, by Donald Biederman et al.
"Kohn on Music Licensing" 3rd edition is complete and a bit overwhelming with over 1600 pages, but it is the perfect book - it really does contain everything I need to know. I skipped around in the book for a few days, finding answers to nagging questions, then I decided to just read the entire book. I'm on page 45, and I'm constantly marking the book with pencil and re-reading pages. I tried to take this book to the beach - it's too heavy!
I like "Music Licensing: How To Run Your Band's Business" as a broad overview to get started, but if you really want to learn how to license music, this is your book. The CD is also complete and almost overwhelming. Please don't think that overwhelming means very difficult to read (although I don't claim that it's easy to read) - this book is written in a conversational style, not just dry text. I say it's overwhelming because there is so much important information here. I can flip to any page and learn something new and important and useful.
I'm glad I found this book. I felt inadequate when my friends asked me questions. Oh, and it includes typical license fees - I love that...

The Tome Mar 02, 2008
By Jeff M. Brown
"Creative Law Talent"
This is the gold standard for substantive knowledge of music licensing, written by experienced music publishing professionals. Standard provisions for every type of music license are covered in detail. Of particular importance is the over 100 pages the book devotes to the discussion of copyright and music licenses in the digital world. The book comes with CD-ROM with sample license forms. It's expensive, but if you're dealing with copyrights and musical licensing on a day-to-day basis, the book is indispensable.

GIAN FIERO ON KOHN ON MUSIC LICENSING Oct 29, 2004
By Gian Fiero
Simply put: This is the bible of music licensing. It's not as cheap as the bible and you don't have a prayer of finding it much cheaper than the used versions that someone foolishly gives up on Amazon, but regardless of the price, it's worth every penny. If you want to truly understand the mechanics, logistics, and legalities of music licensing, learn it from the authority who was sorting out licensing issues concerning the Internet and digital distribution over 10 years ago - before it became a "hot" topic.

A valuable tool, and totally unknown to many who'd benefit Jun 01, 2000
By Kevin N. Scott
I discovered this book when I was researching an article "Who owns the rights? Copyright, the law and licensing the show," which was published in the Summer 1999 issue of the Educational Theatre Association quarterly Teaching Theatre (Volume 10, Number 4) and which is now available online (though the reviewer guidelines do not allow me to post the URL, so anyone interested will have to email me at knscott@juno.com for it). Kohn on Music Licensing is a most valuable resource for anyone who either does musical theatre, or uses music in theatrical production, since it makes clear aspects of musical licensing that I am sure are as mysterious to many others as they were to me before reading this book. In my opinion, every theatre educator or community theater producer/director should read both Chapter 18, "The Grand Rights Controversy", and Chapter 14, "Synchronization Licenses," before producing another musical (or excerpt from one) or using any copyright-protected music "dramatically" (a term defined in the book) in the production of any play. AND the authors maintain a Website to which readers can bring any question still unclear after reading the book.

The Bible of Music Copyrighting Jan 12, 1999
This is the Bible of music copyrighting and licensing. With the coming of age of the Internet, transferring copywritten information online will become increasingly in the spot light and this book makes sense of it.
