Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)
1. Classical music publishers sometimes rent music out to customers.
2. To maximize overseas royalties, a songwriter is usually better off with a “receipts-basis” deal as
opposed to an “at-source” deal, as the royalty would be calculated as a percent of a higher number.
3. Most publishers prefer material that can quickly interest an active producer or major recording artist.
4. Artist managers would usually prefer to have their composer-performer clients sign with a publishing
company first and then use that deal as leverage to attract a record-label contract.
5. “Administrative” publishers are primarily responsible for promoting songs in the catalog or property
they administer. Their activities relieve their clients (often composers or composer-performers) of the
responsibility of spending time on promotion.
