Performers need to protect both their short-term interests and long-term career goals through sound planning and consideration of basic business, contract, and intellectual property principles involving partnerships, corporations, royalties, copyright, and trademarks. Aspiring artists need to be careful when signing contracts. Initial artist contracts are typically one-sided and unfair - Locking up-and-coming artists into exclusive contracts that can last for decades, as well as create a situation where these individuals or groups are exploited and taken advantage of for their entire careers.
