i am trying to draft a basic agreement for music for our DIY record label. This is waht i have so far.
I can provide some general guidance on what to include in a basic music agreement. Consider including:
- Parties Involved: Names and contact details of the label and the artist.
- Grant of Rights: What rights the artist grants to the label (e.g., distribution, performance).
- Compensation: Details on how and when the artist will be paid.
- Term and Termination: Duration of the agreement and conditions for termination.
- Ownership: Who owns the master recordings and any copyrights.
- Obligations: What each party is expected to do.
