The Song Agreement Contract is a crucial legal instrument in the Malaysian music industry that formalizes the relationship between creators, publishers, and other stakeholders involved in the commercial exploitation of musical works. This document is essential when transferring or licensing rights to musical compositions, establishing royalty arrangements, and defining usage rights across various platforms. It ensures compliance with Malaysian legislation, particularly the Copyright Act 1987 and related regulations, while protecting the interests of all parties involved. The agreement typically covers aspects such as copyright ownership, territorial rights, digital distribution, synchronization rights, and performance royalties, making it a fundamental document for any professional music publishing or recording arrangement in Malaysia.
