Access the archived talk with Music Business Attorney Ben McLane and receive 4+ hours of bonus materials.

Ben McLane is a music business attorney who has worked on more than 150 Top Ten songs or albums in his career on one side or another of the deal. I'm putting his bio and list of projects at the bottom of this note because it is so bananas-chock-full-of-big-artists-you-know that I won't name some here. If you only read the artists I bolded, you'll get some tiny sense of the breadth of his experience.

Ben is also the author of this short book on the music business, Music Business in 10 Easy Lessons: The Deal, available as an ebook through Amazon at this affiliate link.
