Does the MMF get involved with legal and technological developments?
The MMF continues to monitor new developments in technology particularly in regard to the Internet (such as, digital distribution, digital rights and income derived from digital usage of music) and new sound carriers, etc. The MMF is constantly monitoring other music business agreements such as recording and publishing contracts for new clauses which may not be in artist’s and therefore manager’s interests. The MMF is also concerned to reform various industry norms such as issues like assignment of copyright and packaging deductions in recording contracts as well as a host of other old-fashioned and blatantly unfair conditions.
