Document background
The Master And Sync License agreement is essential for businesses seeking to legally use music in their audio-visual productions under Danish jurisdiction. This document combines the licensing of master recording rights (the actual sound recording) and synchronization rights (the right to combine the music with visual content), making it particularly valuable for film, television, advertising, and digital media productions. It is designed to comply with Danish copyright law and relevant EU directives, while providing clear terms for usage rights, territories, and compensation. The agreement is typically used when a producer needs to incorporate specific music into their content, requiring permissions from both the sound recording owner (usually a record label) and the musical composition rights holder (typically a publisher or songwriter). The document includes crucial details about payment structures, usage limitations, credit requirements, and territory restrictions, serving as a comprehensive framework for music licensing in commercial productions.
