This Mechanical License Agreement is used when an artist or record company wishes to record and distribute a song written by another songwriter. It grants permission to reproduce and sell copies of a musical composition in audio format.
Ideal for cover songs or any release involving a previously published composition, this license ensures that the song owner is properly credited and compensated for the mechanical royalties generated from sales or streams.
Compliant with industry standards, this agreement outlines royalty rates, reporting obligations, and license scope for both physical and digital distribution formats, protecting both licensee and licensor.
