Among the topics we’ve covered: when to register copyrights for your songs, trusting (or not) major and indie record deals, how to open your own record label, new promising platforms for musicians like Patreon and Twitch (with a cool case study on Meri Amber), and predictions for 2018 (including one which may be particularly liked by cover artists among you).
