Document background
The Master Recording Ownership Agreement is essential when transferring ownership of master recordings in Singapore's music industry. This agreement, governed by Singapore law, particularly the Copyright Act 2021, establishes clear ownership rights, payment terms, and usage permissions for master recordings. It's commonly used when record labels acquire recordings from artists or producers, or when production companies transfer their rights. The document addresses copyright ownership, territory rights, distribution permissions, and quality requirements, providing a comprehensive framework for the transfer of master recording rights within Singapore's legal system.
