Synchronization, Performance, Master Use and Mechanical License

This Synchronization, Performing, Master Use and Mechanical License is for use by a film (movie) producer to obtain the rights to a song or album to use for the soundtrack of a film. Unlike a master use license agreement, the agreement grants the producer far greater rights to the song or composition. These rights include rights to perform, display, and re-record but also requires that the grantor (the artist or owner of the musical rights) actually possess all rights to the song, album or composition, including the underlying rights to the composition, the performance and the recording itself. The grantor can be paid a flat fee and/or royalty. (continued ...)
