It's commonly used in film production, advertising, television, gaming, and digital content creation, where music needs to be legally synchronized with visual content. The document includes specific provisions that address both traditional and digital media usage, making it adaptable to various modern content distribution channels while maintaining compliance with Dutch legal requirements.
