Document background
The Synchronization License Agreement is essential for any project requiring the integration of musical works into audiovisual content under Austrian law. This document is commonly used in film production, television broadcasting, advertising, gaming, and digital media industries. It establishes the legal framework for using copyrighted musical compositions in conjunction with visual elements, specifying the scope of permitted uses, territories, and duration of the license. The agreement must comply with Austrian copyright law (Urheberrechtsgesetz), particularly regarding moral rights and collecting society regulations. It includes crucial provisions for both traditional and digital exploitation methods, making it adaptable to various media formats and distribution channels. The document is designed to protect both the rights holders' interests and provide licensees with clear parameters for using the musical work.
