WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"A must-have for any songwriter, label owner or recording musician. If you need the facts presented in an easy-to-comprehend manner, add this book to your music business library. Get it to stay out of trouble or get it to negotiate with intelligence."

- Chris Anderson, General Manager, A.M.TuneShop, LLC and Author/Composer of "WAiT- it's a musical!"

"Whether and how to obtain permission for components of entertainment and media productions is perhaps the greatest concern of creative artists about their legal rights and responsibilities.  I wish that many of my clients had started out with the step-by-step information in this book."

- John Davis Malloy, Former Legal Director, Washington Area Lawyers for the Arts

"A must-have reference for anyone needing to make sense of the fine print for entertainment media."

- Manuel J. Hernandez, Founder, tudiabetes.com blog, a community for people touched by diabetes

"Joy Butler's The Permission Seeker's Guide Through The Legal Jungle is a concise, practical and invaluable reference for the many rights-clearance issues that producers of media content often face. Highly recommended."

- Stan Soocher, Editor-in-Chief, Entertainment Law & Finance.

"Few things are worse than being blind-sided in an entertainment deal, due to a scenario your lawyer either failed to anticipate or never experienced firsthand. Joy Butler's thoroughness, business savvy and negotiating skill allow you to rest easy."

- Blair Walker, Bestselling author of the Darryl Billups Mystery Series, Why Should White Guys Have All the Fun?: How Reginald Lewis Created a Billion-Dollar Business Empire and Inner City Miracle, the autobiography of TV judge Greg Mathis.
