Document background
A Song Split Agreement is essential when multiple parties contribute to the creation of a musical work in Indonesia. This document becomes necessary immediately after the collaborative creation of a song or musical composition, ideally before any commercial exploitation begins. It serves as a crucial tool for preventing future disputes by clearly documenting each party's ownership percentage and rights. The agreement must comply with Indonesian Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright and related regulations, while also considering international copyright standards for global exploitation. It typically includes detailed information about the musical work, ownership splits, revenue distribution mechanisms, and rights management responsibilities. The document is particularly important for securing proper registration with copyright authorities and ensuring fair distribution of royalties through both traditional and digital channels.
