Hello everyone, I have a pertinent situation at hand. I have to do a contract with a musician I approached to do original music for my feature film. At the immediate time I have to do a contract with him but I don't have a clue about what obtains in terms of author's, copy and music rights... and what are the international norms to such situations... I will appreciate your contributions.

My father was a musician and composer and member of ASCAP. I would go to their website and see what the rules are. Good Luck Nkanya!

Is there a URL for their site? So that I don't end up somewhere else

I worked with a composer on my last short. He created the score and I have exclusive rights to it for two years. Then he can do what he wants with it.

If all else fails, just write out a simple agreement between yourself and your composer. Spell out clearly in simple language who gets what when. Then you both sign it.
