As a well-regarded expert on international copyright, Feist served as an advisor to the United States Delegation to the Berne Convention Revision Conference to advise on revisions of international copyright. In 1980, he published An Introduction to Popular Music Publishing in America, which illustrates the role of publishers in the music business. Feist served as president of the National Music Council, Century Music Publishing, and Mercury Music Corporation, as well as vice president of the National Academy of Popular Music.
