Let's Make A New Deal
Friday March 4, 2005 2:00PM
Fairmont Royal York

The changing landscape of the music industry has created a new paradigm in deal making, one where no sacred cows exist and everything is potentially on the table. The question becomes how can both artists and labels stay in business together. In this session you'll hear about the bold steps some labels and publishers are taking to redefine the relationship with talent - offering profit splits, benefits, and exploring other sources of artist revenue. Is this innovation or exploitation? Who are the potential winners and losers in this give-and-take environment? Let's discuss all the angles!
