Recording Contract (moved)
« on: September 27, 2004, 10:00:25 AM »
I had to come up with a "recording contract" to give to a band, guaranteeing several things (no money, no trading, band gets copy). 

Here is the original topic:

Moke seems to have had great success using it already!  Apparently it got him permission when he shouldn't have gotten it! 

Here is the final version I used, you are welcome to modify it anyway you see fit and use it whenever you need to give written assurance to a doubtful artist:



Terry N. Watts
My address
City, State  XXXXX

Artist name
Artist company name
XXXXXXXXXX
City, State  XXXXX

The contract, by and between TERRY N. WATTS (hereinafter referred to as the "RECORDIST") and (ARTIST) and (ARTIST COMPANY) (collectively hereinafter referred to as the "ARTIST"), and effective this (DATE OF SHOW). 

IT IS, THEREFORE, AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

1. TERM.  The effectiveness of this Agreement shall commence with its execution by all of the parties, and shall continue indefinitely.

3. COSTS.  ARTIST shall not be responsible for any financial reimbursement for any service rendered by RECORDIST.  This includes any production and shipping costs.

4. ARTISTIC CONTROL.  ARTIST shall be responsible for all decisions regarding the artistic content of the RECORDING.  ARTIST has exclusive rights to the RECORDING and copyright shall be the sole property of the ARTIST.  RECORDIST gives up all rights to the RECORDING, except for one copy for personal use.
