Document background
The Music Distribution Agreement is a crucial document used when a rights holder (typically a record label, independent artist, or music publisher) wants to authorize a distributor to deliver and monetize their musical content across various platforms and territories. This agreement, governed by Indonesian law, particularly Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright and Law No. 19 of 2016 on Electronic Information and Transactions, establishes the legal framework for digital and/or physical distribution of music. It covers essential aspects such as distribution rights, territory restrictions, revenue sharing, reporting obligations, and quality standards. The agreement is particularly important in the current digital age where music distribution spans multiple platforms and formats, requiring clear terms for rights management and revenue allocation while ensuring compliance with Indonesian regulations regarding digital content distribution and copyright protection.
