Hello
I have an instrumental I created myself.
Before, giving the instrumental to artists/engineers, I want it to be copyright protected - both the recording, and the composition (i.e. so nobody can use the existing instrumental, or copy/recreate elements of it). Do I need both SR and PA licenses? That could get expensive....I've heard an SR is used by most producers with their instrumentals/beats.
If after I give the copyrighted beat to artist, and they record vocals/songwrite (at an agreed 65%-35% prod.-singer split for royalties and ownership of the final recording)....would the final song recording only require an SR license? How can this agreed split be recorded and enforced by the copyright office?
Regards,
MRAP
