It is important to protect the content creators' rights. Intangible intellectual property rights form the core of all relationships in the music industry, and understanding of those legal rights and legal areas involved in bringing music to the public. There are specific legal rights involved in music, including copyright, trademark, and the right of publicity. There are also statutes and cases.

Presently I am conducting a detailed analysis of the relationships in the music industry and the application of intellectual property rights to each such relationship, including those of the songwriter/composer-music publisher; the performing rights society- music user; the copyright owner - musical theater producer; the music publisher - record company; the performing artist - record company; the record company and distribution chain along with others such as the copyright owner, and his nemesis the infringer.

My research includes the cases, the standard agreements, and antitrust consent decrees. I will also look at a series of mock negotiations between songwriter and music publisher, record label and performing artist, and internet music service, publisher and label, and arguments in infringement cases.

Lastly, I am looking at current legislative issues and future trends, including the legislative response to, and future of, on-line music uses, Peer to Peer sharing , piracy, technological protection measures, liability from the availability of copyrighted works, international law issues, and the role of the public domain.

There is also proposed settlement in the Google Books litigation and its implications for authorship, publishing, and competition.
