Musicians navigate issues of copyright and intellectual property by ensuring that they have the legal rights to their music and creations. This typically involves registering their works with copyright offices, obtaining licenses for the use of samples or other copyrighted material, and negotiating contracts with record labels or distributors to protect their rights. Additionally, musicians may use organizations like ASCAP or BMI to collect royalties for their work. It's also important for musicians to stay informed about copyright laws and seek legal advice when needed to protect their intellectual property.
