Description:

Wallace Collins, an entertainment attorney based in New York, discusses what “work for hire” means in terms of copyright ownership of sound recordings, and what the thresholds are for a work to qualify as a “work for hire.” His argument and discussion of copyright revisions passed in 1976 have implications for many, if not all, the current record deals in circulation.
