Description:

In this segment of a panel discussion held at a meeting of the AIMP (Association of Independent Music Publishers Forum), moderator Don Passman addresses the question of whether 360 deals are good for artists and labels by posing a hypothetical situation about an artist seeking a deal, and asking the panelists to justify their position for or against a 360 deal – and the need for a record deal at all – in this specific instance. This evolves into a frank, funny, and sometimes shocking discussion of how record deals are negotiated and payments made in today’s music industry.
