Document background
The Recording License Agreement is a crucial legal instrument in the Philippine music industry that facilitates the authorized use and distribution of recorded musical works. This agreement is essential when a rights holder wishes to grant permission to another party to exploit recordings while maintaining ownership of the intellectual property. It must comply with the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines and related regulations, including specific provisions for digital distribution and streaming platforms. The document typically covers key aspects such as territory restrictions, royalty structures, quality control requirements, and delivery specifications. It's particularly relevant in today's digital age where multiple distribution channels exist, and is commonly used by record labels, streaming platforms, and entertainment companies operating in the Philippines. The agreement provides necessary legal protection while ensuring fair compensation for rights holders under Philippine law.
