Get Legal

Whether you approach music as a hobby or business, the law applies. While most musicians think the law is all about protecting their music (copyright), it can also be used to promote it (Creative Commons) and generate revenue (royalties and licensing). But the internet is global; the law is not. So, you need the right info for your area. You're in the right place...

By choosing one of the subtopics below, you'll be able to explore all the tools, services, sites, and resources that's available to help you get legal.

We did our best to start it, but since this site is an open resource for the indie musician community to collect and share our collective knowledge, if you know something that isn't listed here, please add it. And if you see something that's listed, but it's incomplete, please add to it!
