Document background
The Master Recording Split Agreement is essential when multiple parties have invested time, resources, or creative input into a master recording and need to formalize their revenue sharing arrangement. This document, governed by Dutch law and compliant with EU regulations, is typically used when recording artists, producers, and other rights holders need to establish clear terms for sharing revenue from master recordings. It includes provisions for various income streams such as streaming, downloads, physical sales, and licensing opportunities, while ensuring compliance with Dutch copyright law and neighboring rights legislation. The agreement becomes particularly important in modern music production scenarios where multiple parties contribute to the creation and commercialization of recordings, requiring clear documentation of ownership percentages and revenue entitlements.
