Question by babycake: What’s a good website for understanding music copyright laws as well as royalty rates for all parties involved?
I’m taking a test tonight on this stuff so any websites that touch base (in-depth preferably) on music contracts, works for hire, sampling, etc. it would be MUCHO appreciated, thanks!

The book below is a preeminent source. You should also be able to find a copy at your local law library.

As an aside, just be careful relying on things you read online. Make sure the information comes from reliable sources. Anyone can write and publish anything online, and unfortunately, much of what you find will be wrong.
