I joined fishbowl a month ago and while I’ve seen a couple contentious debates but I must say I’m pleasantly surprised at how respectfully ppl comment on this app even when disagreeing. Usually anonymity on the internet brings out the absolute worst in ppl; they type things anonymously that they would NEVER say in person smh. But I really haven’t seen horrible comments here. I wonder what makes this app diff frm others?

If your on the new app Clubhouse - drop your @ or dm it! Lot of meaningful entertainment industry discussions going on!!!

Would anyone in either in house or a firm in LA or NY be willing to chat with me for informational purposes? I’m currently in big law in corporate and looking to transition to entertainment and would love to learn more about people’s paths to their current positions / day to day in the entertainment industry.

What’s one thing about being an entertainment lawyer that ppl are surprised to find out?

I’m interested in learning about people’s paths to working in the industry - have most people done law adjacent jobs to get to where they are today? Thanks in advance!

General question, and I suspect the answer is no. Are there any employment or exec comp-related jobs in the entertainment industry? Or, are there any law firms purely focused on entertainment that have a comp/employment/benefits group? I’m at a large firm with a lot of high profile artists, but I’d like to narrow my practice down to entertainment.

Will I be creating conflicts of interest by mass prosecuting copyright registrations? in theory, If I registered copyrights for a ton of people I wouldn’t create any conflicts if they aren’t related

I’m a new patent prosecution associate and unfortunately only just now realized that maybe prosecuting patents isn’t something I want to do long term. I loved copyright (and trademark) in law school, but I have loans to pay off. Should I stick it out in my current role to pay them off before I jump ship to a new practice area or will I be pigeonholed forever to patents if I stay here for 2-3 years?

Does anyone have any video and/or course/seminar recommendations for learning about music-related agreements?

Does anyone have experience with King & Ballow in Nashville? I’d appreciate any insight.
