At this, the fifth of our meetings scheduled for the year which was held on September 15th, 2011 at 7pm, we were privileged to have Rick DiGiallonardo, Director of Ball State University’s Music Media Production & Industry program address a Central Indiana record crowd on the topic of what engineers and industry professionals need to understand about intellectual property.
In his presentation entitled “Are You Ready For The Music Industry?”, DiGiallonardo discussed the history of the music industry and its relation to the recording industry.

He also explained how the recording industry began and how it has changed through the years from small special interest studios to mega studios which have now essentially regressed to boutique recording studio.
Additionally, he discussed the changes in the music business caused by digital downloads and the way the industry has reacted it.
He also discussed a variety of intellectual property issues which are pertinent to everyday engineers, specifically what engineers need to be mindful of in contracts as well as “fair use”, the making of demos, and so much more
