Document background
The Music Buyout Agreement is essential for businesses seeking to acquire complete ownership of musical works in Indonesia. This document is commonly used when a company needs to secure all transferable rights to a musical composition or recording for commercial purposes, such as film soundtracks, advertising campaigns, or video game scores. The agreement must carefully navigate Indonesian copyright law, particularly Law No. 28 of 2014, which maintains certain inalienable moral rights for creators while allowing the transfer of economic rights. The document typically includes comprehensive details about the musical work, payment terms, warranties of originality, and specific provisions for the delivery of master recordings or scores. It's particularly relevant in scenarios where clean chain of title and complete rights clearance are essential for commercial exploitation of the music.
