Seminars

The quick and easy way
to understand
rights and royalties.
"If I have my way, people feel like they just came out of a really good meeting" said John Ciccone.

"For many years, the first call I get typically starts with 'can I just have 5 minutes of your time for a couple of questions?' It's never 5 minutes", John laughed, "simply because we don't know what we don't know".

"And in fact, if a person's not nudged along for the right questions, there can be gaps in what we understand".

John has found a way to cover a ridiculous amount of copyright basics in about an hour.
A single, one-on-one, up to
one-on-five seminar.

Just yourself, or bring your colleagues, band-mates.
