Document background
The Sync License Agreement is a crucial document in the Malaysian entertainment and media industry that establishes the legal framework for using musical compositions in combination with visual media. This agreement is essential when any party wishes to use copyrighted music in films, television shows, advertisements, video games, or other visual content. The document complies with Malaysian copyright law, particularly the Copyright Act 1987, and includes comprehensive details about rights granted, territorial scope, duration, payment terms, and usage restrictions. It serves to protect the interests of both rights holders and content creators while ensuring proper compensation for the use of musical works. The agreement becomes necessary whenever there's a need to legally synchronize music with visual content, whether for commercial, promotional, or entertainment purposes.
