"When I've seen non-music lawyers look at music contracts they don't know what they're doing....There are now an increasing number of ways of exploiting an artist's work. Twenty years ago they didn't have videos, cable TV, satellite, pop songs used in adverts, jingle-writing, compact discs, cassettes, the 12-inch market, merchandising, and they didn't have TV advertising to sell records. The contracts have become more complicated because the whole industry has become more complicated, and you want to make sure that your client gets the benefit of it all."
- Music industry lawyer Alexis Grower (quoted in Goodwin, 1992: 26) (quoted in Garfield, 1986: 255-56).
