Document background
The Copyright License Agreement For Music is a crucial legal instrument in Malaysia's music industry, essential for any entity seeking to legally use copyrighted musical works. This agreement is structured in accordance with Malaysian copyright law, particularly the Copyright Act 1987, and incorporates international copyright principles applicable in Malaysia. It's commonly used when a copyright owner wishes to grant specific rights to use their musical works while retaining ownership. The agreement covers key aspects such as the scope of license, territorial restrictions, duration, royalty structures, and usage limitations. It's particularly relevant in today's digital age where music distribution spans multiple platforms and territories, requiring clear licensing terms that address both traditional and digital usage rights. The document serves as a protective mechanism for copyright owners while providing licensees with clear parameters for legal usage of musical works.
