Music Rights Inside & Out provides an introductory guide to UK copyright law, with a particular focus on music rights. It looks at how music rights work - including compulsory and blanket licensing and collecting societies - and at how rights can be monestised. There is also an overview of the fight against online piracy.

With an ever-growing list of services like Spotify, mSpot, Omnifone, Pandora, Catch Media, mFlow, Grooveshark and maybe even one day iTunes it's clear: music is moving into the cloud. Is ownership over? How will rightsowners get paid? What are the threats and opportunities for labels, publishers, collecting societies, managers and artists?
