Music Recording Licence

This is a sample agreement for the release of a selected music track. Please note: you must contact the Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society for clearance. They handle the collection of royalties on behalf of copyright holders. Both publishing and recording rights must be cleared, and there's often more than one copyright owner. It's worth beginning the process of identifying the copyright owners as early as you can.

This is the case even with library music, although the process is much more straightforward and you will be guided through it by the library staff.

If you're making a film for a broadcaster, check with them first as they may have a blanket agreement in place that will cover your particular programme.
