The 'Intellectual Property Rights in Music' course was a great introduction to the subject. I'm a law student from Egypt, and I was interested in learning more about the international aspects of intellectual property law. The course covered a wide range of topics, from the basics of copyright and trademark law to more advanced topics like music licensing and royalties. The instructor was knowledgeable, and the course materials were well-structured and easy to follow. My only suggestion would be to include more case studies or examples from different regions, but overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others.
