Document background
The Copyright License For Music is essential for any entity seeking to legally use copyrighted musical works in Belgium. This document is particularly relevant in today's digital age where music usage spans multiple platforms and formats. It serves as a crucial legal instrument for protecting rights holders while enabling commercial exploitation of musical works. The agreement must comply with Belgian copyright law, specifically the Code of Economic Law (Book XI), and relevant EU directives. It's commonly used in scenarios ranging from traditional broadcasting to digital streaming, retail background music, and synchronization in audiovisual productions. The document includes detailed provisions for royalty payments, usage reporting, and territorial restrictions, while accounting for both economic and moral rights as required under Belgian law.
