Clearance and copyright (4th edition), The Business of Television, Dealmaking in the film and television industry, and all you need to know about the music business.

Most of these haven’t had updated editions (I don’t believe?), so there are certainly things that they don’t cover, but good base knowledge.

Passman updates All You Need to Know… very regularly, and it is indeed the bible for music law.

I’ve been practicing for 6 years in-house at a media company (was a startup when I joined and is now more established), straight out of law school.

I received a promotion, with another title bump on the horizon this year. I have an opportunity to go to a start-up media company as the sole attorney. Anyone else have experience doing this?
