Preeminent Lawyer Gives The First Comprehensive Analysis of Music Infringement Issues Within The Context of Copyright Litigation

MUSIC & COPYRIGHT By Ronald Rosen

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following release is being issued today by Oxford University Press:

The important and highly topical area of copyright law, as applied to music, continues to be misunderstood by lawyers, business people and the federal judiciary. Ronald Rosen's MUSIC & COPYRIGHT is the first comprehensive treatise for music industry insiders to turn to when navigating the often thorny process of music litigation. Rosen is renowned for his expertise and career-long commitment to entertainment, intellectual property, and commercial litigation.

MUSIC & COPYRIGHT combines music and copyright theories with practical approaches to understanding musical ideas and expression. More importantly, it also provides readers with a practical and strategic roadmap to the music-infringement litigation process, beginning with the client's claim or defense and continuing through the selection and use of experts, discovery, motion practice, and trial.

This is the essential guide for anyone involved in music-infringement litigation. Packed with examples from the author's own practice, the book navigates the often complex terrain between the legal and the musical, providing advice, case studies, forms and essential commentary. The book is a must-read for IP attorneys, especially those practicing in the music industry, judges, forensic musicologists and those interested in the interplay of music and US law.

"As someone who has litigated music copyright cases for almost 40 years, I am not aware of any book that even remotely approaches the insight and analysis of MUSIC & COPYRIGHT, and I don't know anyone more qualified to opine on this subject than Ron Rosen," says Russell J. Frackman, Partner, Mitchell, Silberberg & Knupp, LLP. "This book is an invaluable resource for music copyright litigators, as well as transactional attorneys, advertising agencies, broadcast media, music publishers and record companies, songwriters, agents and managers, law schools and law students, and all others who use music in their businesses or professions."
