==History of Music Publishing==

this article is a direct transcipt of a speech from an expert in the field, not a real article. I quickly skimmed over it, and there seems to be alot of information, some useful? Wangster 05:02, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Original author marked it used by permission. I left a message on her talk page asking her to document permission a bit more on the talk page.
  • It's the text of a speech so should be transwiki-ed to wikisource (after we get more information on the permission.)
  • Then rewrite.

User talk:Jenniferpress who submitted this article left a message at User talk:Master of Puppets that follows:

History of Music Publishing This page is used by permission. The author, Nicholas Firth (Chairman and CEO, BMG Music Publishing), asked me to excerpt and upload the text of a speech he gave to a business class at Belmont University in 2004. His speech is a great in-depth history and development of music publishing and the music publishing industry on a global level. The speech was researched and written by Mr. Firth.

[edit] Rewrite/cleanup

This article is in need of a major rewrite/cleanup. I have begun work on this, and plan to continue. Much of the material on copyright can be deleted and linked to History of copyright. Any help/comments appreciated. --Goodmanjaz 19:39, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Even if this is a transcript of a lecture, certain things need to be wikified, and i don't like the use of the term "most civilized countries" at the bottom of the article JameiLei 17:44, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

The following sentence in the "sheet music" section need to be corrected:

"At that time, one million copies of sheet music yielded approximately $100,000 (about €700,00 in today’s money) for the publisher. "

the currency conversion doesn't seem to be correct. Fablau 15:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
