FAQ:

How can I speed up the process? The information provided on this form is intended to give us, and our partners and
representatives a better idea of your overall project. Providing as much information upfront is the best way to ensure your
request isn’t delayed; going back and forth will ultimately slow down the process. Help us help you!

How long does it take to seek clearance? We cannot give you an exact time frame. Clearance time can vary depending on a
variety of factors, including, but not limited to: the songs you are seeking rights for, the specific nature of your request, and
the amount of upfront information provided.

Below are a few basic definitions of the aforementioned terms:

Artist: This is the recording artist or band that performs the song you are interested in licensing. 

Sound Recording Rights: This refers to the rights afforded to the owners of a sound recording. In the context of
Synchronization, these rights are usually licensed through the record label that represents the artist who recorded the song.

Publishing Rights: This refers to the rights afforded to the owners of a musical composition (music and lyrics). In the context
of Synchronization, these rights are licensed from the music publisher(s) who represent the writer(s) of a song.

Rights/Media Requested: The exact type of media through which you intend to distribute your project. A few examples
include: Film Festivals, TV (i.e., Free TV, Network TV, Cable TV, Pay TV, etc.), Home Video (physical or digital), DVD, Internet,
Theatrical, All Media, etc. Please note that broader rights could significantly incur higher license fees.

Territory: The specific geographical location(s) you intend to distribute your project in. Examples include: Throughout the
World/Worldwide (for internet uses, always request Worldwide), United States only, North America (Canada, USA, &
Mexico), Europe, Los Angeles, New York, etc. Please note that a broader territory could incur higher license fees.
Term: How long do you intend to use the music within the project? Typical term lengths include, but are not limited to: one
month, six months, one year, three years, and perpetuity. Please note that a longer term could incur higher license fees.

Duration of Use: The length of the song’s use within the project (10 seconds, up to 1 minute, full use, etc.)

Type of Use: How will this song be used in the project? Potential options include Background Vocal, Background
Instrumental, Visual Vocal (on-screen character singing along to music or playing a music video), Visual Instrumental (on-
screen instrumental performance), Visual Dance, and Main/End Titles.

License Fee Offered, Per Side: Your offer for the rights requested. Every recording of a song embodies two inherent
copyrights, known as “sides” – the sound recording side (which is associated with the sound recording) and the publishing
side (which is associated with the underlying musical composition). You will need approvals from the owners on both sides
when licensing a recording. There may be multiple publishers or sound recording owners for each “side” (specific splits are
usually determined in advance by the labels or publishers), and if that is the case, you will need to obtain approval from all
parties involved. If you contact one of the sound recording owners and/or publishers, you may want to ask if there are any
other parties from which you need to seek separate approval. Although we may own a portion of a composition or recording,
we cannot approve on behalf of any other potential owners – we can only approve the share that we control. We try to
factor in your budget to the best of our ability when preparing your quote.
