The New Deal: 360 & Beyond |
360 deals are a work-in-progress. Can labels and artists create and sustain long-term success in this new model? At a recent program in NARIP's San Francisco chapter, we asked these questions (and more), and award-winning music business attorney Dina LaPolt answered them. Among other things, Dina shared her eight major areas of negotiation for record deals, the right time to make a deal and the best negotiation tactics for established and developing artists. Dina speaks in New York on June 30 on 360 deals, this time in a mock negotiation with Wind-Up Entertainment's COO & EVP of Business and Legal Affairs, Jim Cooperman. More details here.

How To Distribute Music Via Mobile |
by Raj Singh
Editor's Note: the following article was part of NARIP's recent "Maximum Music Distribution Via Physical, Digital & Mobile" program in San Francisco at which Raj was a guest speaker. Here are his top ten tips to enable mobile music distribution.
1. Build a Mobile Landing Page
Making your content available from your own site or your “new” mobile site is the most direct way to distribute. Previously, this was a painful process because of the massive browser fragmentation but since browsers have improved significantly, building a simple XHTML web page and integrating some phone detection using WURFL (wurfl.sourceforge.net) or DotMobi is much easier process. In addition, since most phones support MP3 and JPG, codec fragmentation is no longer a concern. And if you wanted to put it behind a payment, see Billing Revolution (www.billingrevolution.com), they offer a simple way to integrate carrier or credit card billing behind your mobile landing page.
