我就不去扯这个行业到底有什么毛病之类的破事了。但我真的很想分享一个多年来一直被业界奉为经典的绝佳资源，唐纳德·帕斯曼（Donald Passman）写的《音乐商业通识》（All You Need to Know About the Music Business）：http://www.amazon.com/Need-Know-About-Music-Business/dp/0684... 最近它更新了版本（也就是针对“互联网时代”），不过可能很快又得再更新一版了。找到这个真挺……
I won't go into stuff on what's wrong with the industry, etc. But do want to share that there's a really good resource that has been embraced by the industry for many years called "All You Need to Know About the Music Business" by Donald Passman: http://www.amazon.com/Need-Know-About-Music-Business/dp/0684... It has been revised recently (i.e. for the "internet age") but may require another update soon. Nice find on the…
…common. Albini isn't even saying much about publishing, and the zillion ways for musicians to get screwed there (never sign away your publishing rights!). For a good introduction, try Donald Passman's "All You Need To Know About The Music Business".
Passman's "All You Need to Know About the Music Business" is undeniably less slanted than Albini's piece already mentioned, but I think does just as good a job illustrating how crooked label contracts are if one is not careful. I have never seen contracts…
…When you read artists' blog posts you can see they see peanuts. Not due to Spotify - due to the recording deals. If you want an exhaustive but eye-opening account of all of the details, I recommend "All you need to know about the music business" by Don Passman.
Okay, here's a book called "All You Need to Know About the Music Business" first published in 1991 by a recording industry lawyer (a guy who would have been involved in writing those contracts). It contains the passage: "The word master has two meanings: 1. The original recording…

……太普遍了。Albini 甚至都还没怎么细说音乐版权代理（publishing）的事，以及音乐人在那里被坑得有多惨的一万种姿势（绝对不要把你的 publishing 版权签出去！）。想要个好的入门科普，不妨试试唐纳德·帕斯曼的《音乐商业通识》。

帕斯曼的《音乐商业通识》不可否认比前面提到的 Albini 那篇文章要客观中立得多，但我认为在揭露唱片公司合同如果不仔细看会有多黑心这方面，它做得一样出色。我从没见过哪份合同……

……你去读音乐人的博客文章就会发现，他们赚的根本就是钢镚儿。这锅不能全扣在 Spotify 头上——罪魁祸首是唱片合约。如果你想全面而大开眼界地了解这里面的所有门道，我推荐唐·帕斯曼（Don Passman）的《音乐商业通识》。

行吧，有这么一本书叫《音乐商业通识》，1991年由一位唱片业律师（也就是当年起草那些合同的人）首次出版。书里有这么一段话：“Master 这个词有两个含义：1. 原始母带……
