COMPOSERS ONLY In this workshop with Flemming Nordkrog, the composers can freely talk about this topic, exchange experiences and go through the terms typically used in the agreements.
It's crucial that all composers fully understand the terms and language proposed in these contracts. It’s important, not only for the individual composer, that we always insist on having reasonable contracts. We need to be able to make an argument for the value of the music and to show why music production and the transfer of rights has a certain price. |
