Book Description
Are You Ready To Advance Your Music Career? Then Put It In Writing!
Forget hiring an entertainment lawyer, use this set of industry standard, professional contracts and save big time. Sure our set may cost a little more then the others, BUT you get what you pay for QUALITY!
This set of contracts comes in two easy to use and understand formats, in a preprinted binder and on CD-ROM (pc/mac compatible) - You receive both the binder and CD in this set, with both containing all 101 contracts. We supply you with the contracts in both a pre-printed binder, and on CD.
The binder set comes preprinted, which allows you to take each contract out and use it as is, or make copies of it if you need to.
The CD contracts program, which can be installed on all computers, including PCs and Macs allows you to open up the contracts on your computer in any text editor such as Microsoft Word, Note Pad, Word pad, or any other text editor, which comes installed on all computers. The great thing about installing the CD contracts program onto your computer is that it also allows you to edit any of the contracts, meaning that you can delete specifics that may not apply to your particular situation. With the contracts software program, you can even add things to each contract if needed and then print whichever contract(s) you need directly from your computer, whether it be one or fifty copies. The things that you can do with this program is unlimited, plus remember at this economical price you will receive all 101 of the contracts in both a preprinted binder and on CD-ROM that you can use to edit and print as many contracts as you need..
For a list of all one hundred and one contracts that are included see below
Think about it, even if you use just one of the contracts that are included in this set, you would still be saving money versus if you hired an entertainment lawyer to draw up that same contract at $200.00 per hour, at say 2-3 hours worth of his time! Plus every single contract included in this set has been drawn up by a very knowledgeable, entertainment attorney and is guaranteed to hold up in court in all 50 states if ever needed.
With our set you pay a small price for over 100 different contracts, an entertainment lawyer would charge you hundreds just to draw up a few contracts.
If you're like most musicians, you have a background in creating music, but not in the business side of it. If that's the case, ordering this set of 101 Music Business Contracts is your first step to a secure entertainment career.
Our set of contracts has something for everyone in the music industry from musicians to singers to writers to label owners to producers, here is a list of all of the contracts that you will receive; Agreement of Distribution<BR> Agreement of Foreign Agency<BR> Agreement to Pay<BR> Agva Performance Contract<BR> Artist Management Agreement 2<BR> Artist Producer Agreement<BR> Artist Producer Contract<BR> Artist Record Contract<BR> Artist Tech Rider<BR> Assign of Copyrights<BR> Assign of Copyrights 2<BR> Assign of Copyrights 3<BR> Assign of Copyrights 4<BR> Booking Agreement 1<BR> Booking Agreement 2<BR> Broad Rights License<BR> Broadcast Agreement<BR> Broadcast Release<BR> Cooperative Promo Agreement<BR> Commercial Music Agreement<BR> Composer Agreement<BR> Composer Agreement 2<BR> Concert Performance Agreement<BR> Co-publishing Agreement<BR> Short Form Copyright Assign<BR> Copyright License 1<BR> Copyright License 2<BR> Employment Contract<BR> Event Sponsorship Agreement 1<BR> Event Sponsorship Agreement 2<BR> Exclusive Songwriters Contract<BR> Exc.

PROTECTING OUR INTELLECTUAL/PERFORMING RIGHTS.......2006-11-02
I HAVE USED "101 MUSIC BUSINESS CONTRACTS" TO SIGN MY DAUGHTER AMANDA SHELBY TO AN ALBUM PRODUCTION DEAL WITH A VERY SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTION TEAM IN SWEDEN, A BOOKING DEAL HERE IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA AND A MANAGEMENT DEAL IN LOS ANGELES. I'VE SAVED THE COST OF THE BOOK IN LEGAL FEES ONE HUNDRED TIMES OVER. NO ONE CHALLENGED THE CONTRACTS IN ANY WAY.
MOREOVER, IT'S MUCH FASTER TO PUT A DEAL TOGETHER WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN ATTORNEY TO SCHEDULE YOU IN.
Best contract software around!.......2006-07-21
I just bought the download version of this software and as a professional musician and artist manager I say it is a must have item.
Thanks,
JL
great.......2006-07-14
Wow, this is the thing that I have been waiting for the "101" book sequel that would come on a CDROM. I thank the authors for this it made my work a lot more easier and the updates are spot on
amazing.......2006-07-14
Wow, as much i can say i liked the paperback version this one just blew me way. The updates really make the book worth more that you'd predict and the availability of the CDROM format means that you can take it everywhere with you without worrying that pages might get torn
great as usual.......2006-07-14
Great work as usual this transition from paperback to CDROM worked best for me, I do like the book but i could not take it everywhere with me so a CD with all the contracts i need is one of the best choices i could have. Content is all the same but now in a digital format, easier to search through and a fresh contract at the touch of the print button

Customer Reviews:
perfect for photographers.......2007-05-24
This is a perfect book for photographers, with sample forms, explanations as to how and when they would be used, and a CD with the same forms that can be customized. Very very useful, and excellent purchase.
Legal Forms for Photographers.......2007-05-14
This is a good book for someone starting out in professional photography. Lots of information and background provided within.
Very helpful.......2007-04-12
The book has a lot of forms for photography such as Wedding and Portrait contracts are very helpful and the book comes with a CD-ROM too.
Great title for photographers.......2007-03-09
This title is a great addition to any photographer's library. If I ever need to find a contract or form to use, this book has it. If it doesn't have it, it does have something similar to what I need so I can adjust it to work for me.
Speaking of working for me...the CD included with this title is a God send. It has all the forms from the book in RTF and Word form. This is nice because you can just go add names or make edits as you see fit without having to retype everything on a page.
It also explains thing you need for each form if you want to create your own (such as basic guidelines for a consent form).
I'd recommend this book to any photographer without an attorney or many years of business/legal experience.
How to Protect Yourself as a Professional Photographer.......2007-01-09
This book contains forms covering every area of photography. A must-have for everyone who makes or wants to make a living as a photographer.

Customer Reviews:
No UCC.......2007-05-14
My contract class may have been a little unusual because we spent so much time on the UCC, but there was so little UCC in this book, I didn't find it very useful at all. My professor also spent a fair amount of time on the Restatement Second of Contracts, which is also covered only minimally in this book. I'm sure if your class is very common law and case driven, this book would be fine, but if you spent any significant time on the UCC of RS(2d), this may not be the book for you.
Between Corbin & Emanual.......2007-04-25
Some students prefer the classic hornbooks while others opt for Emanual. However, more and more students are leaning toward Examples and Explanations. It might be just what you're looking for.
not as good as other Examples and Explanations.......2007-03-18
I had a great experience with the Civil Procedure Examples and Explanations, and was expecting a similar experience with Contracts. Unfortunately, this book was not nearly as easy to understand. If I have a question in Contracts, I cannot refer to this book as I could in Civil Procedure.
Dense, but good.......2007-02-23
This has a different feel from Glannon's CivPro book in this series. This book has A LOT more substance. But I'm loving it. Adding an 800 page supplement to your textbook reading can be tough, but if you can manage it, I've found it well worth it.
Blum very helpful.......2007-01-11
This is a very detailed study aid that I found very helpful in reviewing for exams. The author is somewhat longwinded, but his detail ends up being very useful when you have a concept that you are struggling to understand. I recommend this study aid to any 1L having trouble in Contracts.

Book Description
The focus of this manual is not what provisions to include in a given contract, but instead how to express those provisions in prose that is free ofthe problems that often afflict contracts.
Customer Reviews:
So-so.......2007-03-10
Bought this book after reading some of the author's articles and the rave reviews here. It is more like a style guide (it focuses on tenses, font, grammar) than a substantive legal drafting guide. It is very nitpicky regarding the English language, to the level where if you adhered to every rule, you would be closer to a fuddy duddy phD candidate type than a practitioner. It reminds me of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. I much prefer Charles Fox's Working With Contracts - What Law School Doesn't Teach You, which is more practice-oriented and actually explains each clause, and its the purpose and meaning. Every junior associate should receive Fox's book as a present when they start their first year.
It could threaten my job security..........2007-01-07
As a contract litigation attorney I'd be worried if more people were to buy this book. Luckily for me the vast majority of lawyers and people who draft agreements apparently have not. Thus, I'm not worried about my job. It was actually an enjoyable read, too.
Must Have!.......2006-11-11
Any attorney actively involved in the drafting of contracts must have this manual. I am general counsel for a product development and manufacturing firm and have been actively using the guidance of Ken Adams' book for several months now on a variety of contracts, including overhauling our standard contracts. Not only is it improving my efficiency, but the feedback from members of our company is very positive. I cannot state it any better than Ken does in his preface to this manual. If you agree with the premise of his preface, as I do, then you will find this to be an invaluable and indispensable tool.

Book Description
Lawyers use the term "boilerplate" to refer to the provisions at a contract's end—choice of law, notice, arbitration, assignments, etc. Costly problems arise when drafters ignore the subtleties of these provisions. This remarkable book gives you new insights into language you've seen countless times. Written by expert practitioners and incorporating the latest case law, the book covers over 20 provisions. For each provision, it explains the law and parses the provision in detail, including variations. You'll never look at a contract the same way again.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent resource.......2007-03-09
I purchased this item just to familiarize myself with basic contract terms and the reasoning behind the "boilerplate" that I see and use everyday in my practice. Glad to say it has already paid for itself and I highly recommed this purchase. Obviously no book will tell you how to advise your clients but its another CLE tool any contract attorney can put to use. And for us younger attorneys ...its in english not legalese
Practical advice backed up by legal reasoning.......2003-08-08
This book contains legal background and practical advice for drafting and negotiating many basic contract provisions, such as indemnification, limitations on remedies, and the like. The text is organized and laid out in an easy-to-use format, and the book comes with a CD that includes the template provisions.
The next edition should include a chapter on termination provisions

Book Description
Courageous Souls explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, prior to birth for purposes of spiritual growth. The book contains ten true stories of people who planned physical illness, having handicapped children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved one, and severe accidents. Because very different life challenges are often planned for similar reasons, readers who have not faced these specific challenges will nevertheless see themselves - and their motivations as a soul - in these stories. As readers come to realize that they themselves planned their lives, suffering that once seemed purposeless becomes imbued with deep meaning. Wisdom may be acquired in a more conscious manner; feelings of anger, guilt, blame, and victimization are replaced by acceptance, forgiveness, peace, and gratitude.
Customer Reviews:
Not a preachy guilt trip book about religion. Thank God........2007-05-28
Excellent all the way. Except Schwartz needs to finish up though. Courageous Souls is the first book that finally goes beyond many of those dopy "beyond the white light" reads. His documented sessions with the subjects in the book are all well done and kept in the context of transcribed fact, rather than Schwarts spewing out opinion after opinion about what it is he's hearing. Its mind blowing stuff. But, the book seems to sort of end abrubtly and you get the sense that he has much more to tell. As an example, maybe it wasn't, but modern day christianity is not addressed. In fact this book almost seems to stay away from the subject except on occasion when the spirit guides make a somewhat translucent reference as to who their big boss is. I like books such as this that don't curse me for what I dont know or believe and this one does not. It does not add yet another translation to anyones bible or book of rules. If Schwartz continues his book as another volume, I hope that we may see yet more comprehensive dialog about how many of todays out of control religious organizations came to be and why they still exist. I know that's walking on eggshells in the commercial book world but he clearly heard more during these sessions than he wrote about. If the material is there, I hope he takes a chance and tells us more, even at the risk of hurting someones feelings about their "god". Courageous Souls takes the term "Human Evoloution" and guides you to an understanding that will help lift the fog on the question of Why we are.
Planning our Lives.......2007-05-20
After reading this book, I have no more questions about how I planned my life. I also gave up blaming anyone for anything. it is completely clear that I requested my best soul friends to participate in my life. Out of their great love for me they agreed to play certains roles for me to support my soul's learning and my soul's evolution.
This book shows there is nothing to forgive as you asked for every situation in your life.
Maybe you only need to forgive yourself for being so hard on yourself.
Robert Schwartz has a clear style. it is easy to read.
This book will change your life....it is a must.
Life's Journey Explained.......2007-04-17
I am not a fan of reincarnation so when I first began reading "Courageous Souls" by author Robert Schwartz I quickly thought this book is not for me. However, as I continued to read and kept an open mind I learned many things that I would have not otherwise known. I also saw many similarities in the life experiences discussed in the book and my own life. As I read each page, I became more engrossed about the various topics such as Pre-birth Planning and Physical Illness. I read the first half of the book non-stop and only put the book down due to an interruption of the telephone ringing. After reading the book, I am still not a believer in reincarnation but I agree with many of the shared beliefs of the author. This book will change the way you think about your life and how your life experiences shape your thoughts and feelings about yourself and the world.
A GREAT Book, I Thoroughlly Enjoyed It.......2007-04-14
I have greatly enjoyed Dr. Newton's work and this book is a great adjunct to it. I liked the format and the fact that Robert Schwartz is not a scientist or someone who was psychic or something from birth. He is an everyday guy and undertook a journey to learn more.
The way he had the different mediums and psychics work with the people in the book and give different perspectives was refreshing! This book was an easy read and a pleasure.
Be prepared to change your perception of your life.......2007-03-22
Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (2/07)
What if we planned our life challenges before birth so that we could use those experiences for our growth? The author, Robert Schwartz refers to this as "pre-birth planning." "Courageous Souls" is written with this idea in mind. Some of those experiences that we call "déjà vu" might actually be memories from our pre-birth planning. If you know that you made an agreement prior to birth, to face difficult challenges, it will help you adjust your perception about these challenges in a positive way. It is hard to be stuck in a victim role once you realize that you made the choice to learn from the events that you are dealing with. Schwartz says that, "In writing `Courageous Souls,' I set out to teach what I most needed to learn."
Ten people were interviewed for this book. Respected channelers and mediums were also used to help investigate the spiritual side of these questions. The author himself had many sessions with mediums to gain a greater understanding of the challenges that he chose during PBP. Contact information for the channelers, mediums and people interviewed is listed in the appendix.
The chapters are set up according to the challenges being faced within them. The two that touched me the most were, "Parenting Handicapped Children," and "Deafness and Blindness." I teach people that are disabled and learning why they might have chosen to be disabled really, really touched my heart and made me feel better about their hardships. Schwartz says, "Life challenges are a particularly powerful means of creating feelings which are in turn, vital to the soul's self-knowing..." "Courageous Souls" is an incredibly powerful book; it should be read by everyone.

The Fundamental Contract Text.......2007-06-20
This "studeht" text, bought for my daughter who is entering law school in the fall, is the reference any lawyer (or interested non-lawyer) should have at their fingertips.
Not very clear or concise.......2007-06-02
As the title indicates, this text is not very clear on concise. The authors introduce you too a great deal of information on contract law, which on the surface appears to be very helpful, until of course, you begin to read the text. Once you begin to read it, you will become confused as the shear amount of material thrown at you is difficult to understand and is written in incredibly long, run on sentences.
Recomend that you get an Emanual outline instead
Good but not needed for contracts class.......2006-12-21
I bought this book because I needed a better understanding of contracts during my 1L year. This book expanded upon the contracts outline I already had, put out by the same authors, C&P. This horn book was helpful for understanding a few areas more in depth, especially for another class where I needed to dig deeper than what was taught in contracts. On one hand, this book was readily available in the school library (probably yours too) and therefore was probably not a necessary purchase. On the other hand, it will probably be a more useful book for me in and out of practice, since lawyers and non-lawyers alike use contracts throughout life.
Could have been better, I think.......2006-10-14
Well, the fact that I'm writing a review about this book, while it's sitting open on my desk next to my computer, open and not being read, might be some evidence of how I'm enjoying this book. This book just goes on and on in complex an unclear language about a subject which shouldn't be so difficult. This book is not clear or easy to understand at all. Every sentence is awkward and followed by a footnote, and the masses of footnotes together take up half of EACH page (!), making this work look like a research project for a PhD publication. I have the casebook in this series, and sometimes it seems reading the cases alone will bring more clarity. And it turns to be true! This book might be good if you're advanted-contracts and want to know every little detail, or as an advanced reference later on, to look something up like in an encyclopedia. Some concepts, which should be pretty clear just get too in-depth coverage in this book. It's too complex for a first-year student. Sometimes it starts describing the different views out there, and then there's a jumble in your head as to what the law really is. I wish the author used his own knowledge and fluid language more than footnoted ideas from other authors.
Best used as a doorstop........2006-01-14
This book tells you nothing that the U.C.C., Restatement 2nd, and a basic cases and examples book (Farnsworth, for instance) doesn't already tell you. This hornbook, however, is much denser and dryer than these other texts. Surely there must be better study texts out there than this for the first-year Contracts student.
To give you a taste of this literary castor oil, the first chapter asks the question, "What is a contract?" Then it proceeds for paragraphs upon dense paragraphs about what some obscure academic once said a contract is. Then C&P say that they don't like that explanation (without really explaining why very well). This is repeated over and over again. Then they conclude by saying, Golly gee, we'll be darned, but we really don't know what one of them contract thingies is, but we'll talk about them in the most boring way possible for the next several hundred pages using as many words as we possibly can in order to justify our royalties.
Later, the book covers history of contracts, and the concepts of debt, assumpsit, and covenant, but in a very dense and dry manner lacking in well-communicated insight (again, Farnsworth's casebook, for example, is much more direct and enlightening). This is par for the course with C&P.
If you really want to understand Contract law better, just review various sections of the Restatement 2nd of Contracts, and the comments thereto. That is a shorter and more direct read, and depending upon your law school, you probably have to know what the Restatement 2nd says anyway. May as well get it straight from the horse's mouth instead of reading some law geeks overpostulate on it.
