| Exclusive contracts for artists - what's a good deal?
Gidday
If a production library that sells licenses for your music to be used in film, ads etc wants an exclusive contract, what would make you sign it over having non exclusive deals with a few libraries?
Also, what is the going rate - 50/50? My lawyer suggested that if they want the songs exlcusively, then the rate should be higher, since they aren't pursuing things like covers deals, ringtones, sheet music, whereas a full publishing deal (paying the artist more like 70%) would be.
LOL - even after a lawyer, I still don't know what I'm better off signing.
Anyone experienced with this?
