3 questions to consider before signing any contract:
Does the contract result in possible harm to my reputation?
Does the contract permit me to make decisions that are ethically aligned with my values?
Is this the best fit for my long term goals?

Creatives, you’re working too hard and doing more than enough of the right things to let something like a bad contract get in your way.
Take a long, hard look before you sign the dotted line.

What are three signs of a "bad" contract?
- It fails to protect your reputation.
- There's no reasonable way out if things don't work out.

I discussed culture + IP for @theGrio a month ago. Just like it’s powerful for artists to share these 💎, it’s the same for journalists. Huge thanks to @kyrakyles for such a compelling, necessary article: sogeni.us/2T4eXBw
It’s one thing for the lawyers + managers to discuss the importance of protecting intellectual property. It’s ANOTHER for the artists themselves to say it. That takes it next level...
Digging the fact that Soulja Boy said on Everyday Struggle that he copyrighted the choreography for Crank That. I think it’s 🔥🔥 whenever intellectual property conversation is mainstream.
