Practical, comprehensive guide for VC
The beauty of this book is that it is equally suitable for practicing professionals and students of the subject alike. I am impressed by the breadth and quality of presentation of just about every topic you should know if you are even half-serious about the VC space. For this reason alone, I recommend this book.

A classic!!!!!!!!!
As soon as I bought the book I could not put it down I read it from top to bottom non-stop. This book is an easy read and very applicable. I highly recommend this book to gain greater insights in the Music business or any business. It was a great buy along with a couple of manuals purchased from Musicbrains.net entitled the Indie label Kit onAmazon, Music business 101, future of music and Guide to releasing an independent record by Tim Sweeney.

excelent
The music industry world ins an alien environment for most of the emerging artists and many need guidance to avoid scams and legal glitches, this book can be a good guide in defeating those lawyers that try to fool you into a deal. Despite the depth and professionalism , the book it isn't the best out there,” Music Business & Entertainment Law Contracts for Indie Recording Artist, Labels, Songwriters, Composers, Producers, Managers and All Others in the Record Industry. Binder / CD-ROM set (PC & Mac)" by Ty Cohen is far better when dealing with all the aspects and it includes viewpoints from different men in the industry, and also includes clear and easy to understand examples

Real World Advice from a Real Guy - Highly Recommended
Not only is this book (and it's prequel, "Confessions of a Record Producer") the real deal, so is the man who wrote it. I was so impressed by his first book that I contacted him as a consultant on a producer/artist agreement I was negotiating (I am a producer). My goal was to come up with something that was actually fair to both parties and Moses got us to that point quickly. His suggestions were works of innovation that surprised and satisfied everyone.Read more

Corporate Taxation Translated into Plain English
The book has concise observations about the corporate taxation subject with clearly written and cogent passages addressing all the important topics.I am a CPA and tax professional, and it has proven to be a valuable worktool when used in conjunction with the Internal Revenue Code and Regulations.

A very good introduction
This book is a very good introduction to basic subchapter C concepts with which every good tax lawyer should be familiar.The subject matter cannotbe fully grasped without some effort but this title will make that effortless burdensome.I highly recommend it to law students and tax lawyers whodo not have significant experience with subchapter C of the IRC. ...

This bookis gold!
This book is gold.I have bought several books trying to get a clear and concise handle on what is involved in making my business legal.They all bogged me down with things I didn't understand or was left with more questions.Until this book.Richard Stim starts right off with no bull.He states in layman terms what decisions need to made first and moves right on down the line.He gives clear examples of do's and don'ts and always gives references online for further exploration.He also suggests, when necessary, to check with an attorney and what legal forms you can do yourself and what forms can be adjusted.This book comes with a CD of legal forms, so there is no hunting them or tracking down the right offices at the court house.Richard Stim takes a lot of the mystery away and makes you feel confident.I highly recommend this book for anyone!

i'm not good at titles but........
it's so cool i'll try anyway.Read more

Excellent Legal Contracts
I found this book most useful for the CD-ROM's legal contracts.As a consultant, I use these for all my clients.
Good content, bad editing
There is a lot of good information and discussion in this book about the topics which a contract should cover.It falls down, however, when it comes to the actual contracts.Just comparing the website and the custom software contracts, there are differences where there shouldn't be.In the software contract, it's theCustomer, in the website contract, it's the Client.A bit more than half of the contract sections with (mostly) identical headings and purpose have unexplained differences between them.Many of these differences are not trivial.In the text, the contracts are interleaved with explanations, but often the commentary/annotations are just restatements of the contract itself, which is a real time-waster, especially if you've read the background material earlier in the book.Other occasional editing snafus include explanatory comments inside the contract text, formatting syntax commands on the page (END SECTION), and a less than clear and concise structure for indicating optional clauses (the intended combinations aren't always clear, even though customization is to be expected).Given the fuzzy line between a website and a web application (ie 'custom software' (and really, what website is NOT custom?)), and given the marked similarities in over half of the two contracts, why not cover the overlapping sections just once, instead of twice, but inconsistently?And the sections that don't overlap, or overlap badly?No real explanation as to the reasons for the differences.I hope I don't have the same problems with the two versions of the independent contractor agreement.Fishman has written a pile of legal books for the layman, including the more recent "Consultant And Independent Contractor Agreements 5th Edition".I have to wonder: "Quantity over quality?"Perhaps when he is working on the next edition of this book ("Legal Guide to Web & Software Development", due out 8/2007), he will take the time to re-organize some of the content and get a capable editor.A determined reader can sort out the differences on their own, but it need not be so difficult.The content is 5 stars (including 24 documents in RTF format), but making it work for you is a real pain if you care about details.

This Book Delivers
A straightforward and well organized book.

I have spent my life at sea.So did my son.
Deaths, accidents and collisions and sinkings at sea are not viewed by U.S. Courts with laws that confine the everyday civil, criminal, commercial, or real estate business of this country.Like the sea itself, U.S. Maritime Law is a collection of interconnected forces that one must navigate to pass. Pocket Part not included
Customers should be aware that the Pocket Part used to bring this volume current is not included in the sale. You would be better off ordering this book directly from the publisher, West Group, if you want a law book that is current, at no additional cost, at the time of sale.

The definitive Hornbook on maritime law
Schoenbaum's Hornbook on Admiralty is indispensable from the point of view of this maritime practitioner.It is much better than the other Hornbook available - and so far beyond other guides that it's not even worth lookingat anything else. If you need a sound reference on such an esotericsubject, this is the one to get. ... Read more

A must-read
This is arguably one of the best contemporary books on the market that addresses the legal and financial aspects of producing a feature film.While the book does go quite heavily into the legalese producers must consider, it's still accessible enough for the novice producer or filmmaking enthusiast to walk away with a weighty respect for the intricate behind-the-camera activity that occurs in regard to film development, production, and distribution.
Best book on the business of filmmaking
This book will definitely help anyone with a script or movie from getting taken to the cleaners by a producer or distribution company.In addition, A man I highly admire, Jerry Molen, wrote the foreword for this book.This book assisted me in getting my last movie, The Indie Pendant, made.And, you should look for me to be talking about it on my new radio show, The Indie Film Hour, coming in 2006 on World Talk Radio.com. www.vdefilms.com ...
