License Quote Request

IMPORTANT:

Master Use (the actual Sound Recording) License must be obtained from the applicable record company. There is no need to obtain a master use license if you are creating your own recording of the song, but you must obtain a license from the owners of the copyright to the song on behalf of the songwriters (commonly referred to as synchronization license)

Explanation of terms:

Media – The scope of the media rights you will need covered in the license. Common examples would be broad theatrical rights including home video, television show, TV commercial, radio commercial, streaming use on the internet, film festivals, and in-house videos (e.g. trade show, conference, and corporate meetings).

Territory – The territory within which you intend to distribute your project, and therefore, required to be covered by the license (e.g. limited to a specific city/state, United States, United States and Canada, Worldwide). Please note that the territory requested will have a direct impact on the license fee quoted. Arrangements can be made for limited media up front with additional media negotiated as options, thus saving up front costs (e.g. initial license would only cover film festivals, with additional separate options for distribution in television and home video).

Please note that the term requested will have a direct impact on the license fee quoted. Arrangements can be made for a short initial terms with additional terms negotiated as options, thus saving up front costs.
