This is the independent artist's ultimate guide for mastering the modern music business. From studio sessions to multi-platinum awards, Pete Warner shares the insights he's gained directly from industry legends and top executives. With 40,000+ additional words of pure power and raw music industry truth compared to the first edition, the Second Edition nears 100,000 words. Tactical insight, strategies to move effectively, and knowledge for smarter negotiations. Take control of your career, from day one until success knocks on your door, and beyond. This ""Second Edition"" does more than teach-it takes a stand. For the first time in publishing history, a music business book includes a formal, public petition to the United States Copyright Office, calling for a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) into the practices of the Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC). The author officially urges the Copyright Office to launch an NOI in response to the MLC's ongoing obstruction and failure to comply with federal law-specifically, its disregard for properly executed Notices of Termination under Title 17 U.S. Code § 203 of the United States Copyright Act. This public request to the United States Copyright Office-now preserved as part of the permanent record within this book-represents a real-world effort to reclaim mechanical rights under federal law. Chapter 6 presents the supporting evidence and details of the complaint. This is not theory; it is advocacy in action, grounded in fact, ethics, and an urgent commitment to defend the rights of authors and composers as protected by federal statute. The MLC, operating under the authority of the United States Copyright Office, is legally obligated to honor these rights. Yet, its current actions stand in direct conflict with those obligations. --- The Power of Personalities Also included: 250 personality traits to help you understand the people you'll encounter in the music industry.
