QUOTE OF THE MONTH

Intellectual property  (IP) rights provide the framework for protecting musical works, recordings, and performances. These rights empower music as a business, giving the opportunity to creators to control the use of their work, receive fair compensation, and invest in future projects. By understanding and leveraging IP, artists have the building blocks to develop sustainable careers and contribute to the cultural and economic vitality of the global music industry.
World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
