FYI to everyone: covering and distributing (social media included) other people’s music without a license is illegal everywhere.
Only if the composer and lyricist have been dead for minimum 50 years, you can start thinking about it. #copyrightbite #copyright
For all musicians who are selling their music, I made
a contract checklist for @MusicWeeklies.
In the same folder, I took two ok basic templates from the web and added annotations (See thread)
You can find it here:

#Copyrightbite time:
Did you know that if you buy a track on @Bandcamp or the likes, you're not licensed to upload it to services like @mixcloud?
When you buy a single track, it's only for your private consumption. For upload in a playlist, you need to LICENSE it. #copyright
@pype720 If you want to scratch deeper, I tweet my copyright content under #copyrightbite. I also made a 3 part webinar on international copyright for composers here. https://t.co/TJBjagEDMe
Today's #copyrightbite is a thread inspired by being prompted to submit to a new music marketplace:
1) NEVER grant anyone exclusive rights to publish tracks unless they are a label or similar. Even if it says that you own the master, you can do nothing w that master #copyright
Take this template and amend to your needs in Europe (not UK or Ireland).
Use it as example and reference if you are anywhere else. Put in all the black text, but use normal words. No need to sound legal. #copyrightbite
#copyrightbite:
Be wary of clients who use a standard contract template. Many of them are using the first thing that they find online and don't actually understand the repercussions for a #musician. Steer clear of anything that transfers rights after a contract is breached. 1/2
Just so everyone knows: unless you signed off on the use of your piece of music, you CAN take an unlicensed user to actual real court. #copyright #copyrightbite
@SHIMSHON_GAD It’s a shame that this type of stuff forces people to not be able to share their work freely online in fear it will be stolen and monetized.
i’m sorry this happened to you dude. Hope it gets sorted out.
Just a friendly reminder to NEVER DO A BUYOUT IF IT DOESN'T FULLY COMPENSATE FOR YOUR LOST ROYALTIES INCOME.☑️➡️💸

Quick version: Unlicensed covers that you distribute online are illegal. #copyright #copyrightbite #vgm #gameaudio #composer #musicproduction #musician #gamemusic #filmmusic #filmscore #music
Today's #copyrightbite:
Selling your #music to someone? Make sure to distinguish between the right to the finished products (master rights) and rights to the composition itself (the ideas in your head). Be specific! Don't sell everything! #composer #musicproducer #copyright
If you have some time available these days and aren't registered with your national PRO/#copyright collective, now is the time. Although your immaterial work is protected regardless, you may as well earn some royalties off it! #copyrightbite #composer #songwriter #musicproduction
Today's #copyrightbite:
If the original composer has been dead for >50 years (>70 in Europe), you can cover their music freely. Otherwise, you need a license or explicit permission from the composer.
Note: Lyricists have the same protection - check when they died too. #copyright
PSA for musicians who want to relocate their music:
BE WARY OF AUDIUS if you care about protecting your #copyright.

What to do if you discover that someone has used your music unlicensed/without permission:
1) Send an invoice or
2) Demand to have it taken down or
3) Send an invoice AND demand to have it taken down.

The world of today is replete with #cover songs. But where you aware that it is actually illegal by international law to make a cover version w/o the #composer's permission/a license - even if you don't want to make any money off it? #copyrightbite #copyright #infringement
Did you know that when you sell your tracks on @Bandcamp, buyers can only use your music non-commercially? You can allow commercial use through a #copyright notice on your tracks. #copyrightbite
For more info: https://t.co/5PMz9sQKAX
Do you use other people's immaterial property in your work? (Covers, remixes, motif reference, sounds etc) Do so legally, w license/permission from the creator. If not, you are infringing on their #copyright. #copyrightbite Great overview here: @AfroDjMac https://t.co/hyJWmatRSB
Today's #copyrightbite: Be cautious of distributors that demand that you are not affiliated w a national copyright agency. They can prevent you from getting royalties, also from music you didn't distribute through them. YOUR rights first! #copyright #composers #musicproduction
