I found the Advanced Skill Certificate in Music Copyright and Publishing Business (Advanced) course to be quite informative and relevant to my needs as a music publisher in Egypt. The course covered a wide range of topics, from the basics of copyright law to more advanced subjects like music licensing and publishing agreements. I appreciated the emphasis on practical applications and the use of real-world examples to illustrate key concepts. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, although I felt that some of the lectures could have been more engaging. One of the most valuable takeaways for me was learning how to draft and negotiate publishing contracts that benefit both the publisher and the artist. While there were some areas where I felt the course could have delved deeper, overall I'm happy with what I learned and would recommend the course to others in the music industry.
