Contract Field/Department: Sound Recordings
What types of performers do Sound Recordings contracts cover?
The Sound Recordings Code covers the featured recording artists (Beyoncé, Tim McGraw, Fleetwood Mac, Prince, etc.) and session/background singers, actors, comedians, and sound effects artists. The Music Video Contract covers all on and off-camera performers, except background actors and instrumentalists.
Are songs recorded for TV programs, theatrical films, commercials, and video games covered by Sound Recordings?
No. Songs/music for each of these areas are covered by the respective contract in those areas. Sound Recordings only covers songs produced specifically to be released as records.
What if a song originally recorded under the Sound Recordings Code gets used in another medium (TV, theatrical, commercial, video game, etc.)?
Sound Recordings generally handles these claims, which are called "conversions" or "new use" claims.
