Description
Agreement under which joint owners of copyright in a particular song or songs set out the percentages of ownership and the conditions in which they are permitted to promote said songs.
Contains:
‘Joint work’ version where the individual contributions made by the co-writers become one undivisable unit.
and
‘Collective work’ version where writers are allowed to re-use lyrics or music they contributed in a song (provided there are no restrictions made by labels) but only when the portion of the work written is sufficiently distinct and identifiable from the other parts of the co-written work. This contract overrides this default and sets out that each writer owns an interest in the whole copyright, not just their contribution.
