      Major labels typically won't sign a deal with an artist without the artist having a lawyer, for appearances. A lawyer doesn't protect anything.
      Labels don't even care if they honor contracts that they wrote, themselves. So, read all you want and have it stipulate whatever helps you to sleep at night.
      What are most people going to do if they don't honor something? What is your little lawyer foung to do against their army of lawyers and mountains of reaources.
      Artists are clowns and pawns to labels. The label that you think that you signed to and the executives who shook your hand are just imprints and pawns to a few corporations that are based in Europe, such as Vivendi.

    Write your own contract with this:
    You’re not giving away ownership rights away to your products, services and your likeness.
    The record label pays for all expenses and those expenses shouldn’t hamper on your brand equity (such as buying an ugly stage at an ugly venue for a concert of yours, you get to give the green light on red light)
    The record label distributes your product and service in a timely and expected manner
    They do not control income in their accounts; all flows go into your account or a trustee that you both agree to.
    They share in percentage of PROFITS and NOT capture a % of revenue (you being able to have a say in expenses prevents them from jacking you on the expense side)
    You can cancel your contract with them at any time
