If your serious about the music business, take it from me and go to a community college. Take all the courses that will help you build your knowledge on the subject. They cover just all the questions you need to know: ie. Intellectual Property Law, Copyright Forms, Management Agreements, Licensing Procedures, and a lot more.
Out here (Fullerton CC, and probably many other) offer you a grip of music courses for a cheap ass price. And if you can't afford college, sign up for a financial aide program. They'll cover everything for you.
If you don't wanna go through all that shit, go to your nearest library.
