Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. Classical music publishers sometimes rent music out to customers. 2. To maximize overseas royalties, a songwriter is usually better off with a “receipts-basis” deal as opposed to an “at-source” deal, as the royalty would be calculated as a percent of a higher number. 3. Most publishers prefer material that can quickly interest an active producer or major recording artist. 4. Artist managers would usually prefer to have their composer-performer clients sign with a publishing company first and then use that deal as leverage to attract a record-label contract. 5. “Administrative” publishers are primarily responsible for promoting songs in the catalog or property they administer. Their activities relieve their clients (often composers or composer-performers) of the responsibility of spending time on promotion.
