I got hired by a t-shirt company to write a football based song.
So, I'm wondering now that it's finished - who owns the song?
Many thanks to anybody responding with advice/information and/or links to helping me understand the legalities.

I would assume since it's a work for hire, they would own all the publishing. But you should receive writer's/performance royalties if it is played on the radio or TV.

Many thanks to anybody responding with advice/information and/or links to helping me understand the legalities. I've written thousands of jingles. They always either belong to the company hiring you, as a buyout, or they may choose to license for 3 or 5 years. You should always have something in writing. Advertising agencies and marketing companies have standard contracts used. www.duckduckgo.com around and see what you find. |
