Arts Law provides legal information to the arts across the full spectrum - music, literture, all the visual arts and crafts and multi media. They also have a Twitter feed. I “follow” that and so I found this article on The Business of Being an Artist.

Something to refer to when we think about the discussion at the August Meeting (AGM)
