Hi guys, I've got the following situation:
There's a (small, local) advertisement agency that may be interested in using some of my music as background for internet commercials. However, I'm a complete noob as far as legal and financial issues are concerned. Here are some questions. Any info will be highly appreciated.
1. What's a reasonable price for selling my recordings? They're amateur quality, but will only be used on the net.
2. How do I go about selling copyright. I want to make sure that I can still put this music on an album someday, so I'm selling the copyright, but not the composer's rights.... right?? Please help.
3. What would one of these contracts look like?
Oh, before I forget, I live in Europe (the Netherlands) so I'm not sure US copyright law applies here. On the other hand, I heard that these laws are more or less the same all over the western world. Lemme know what you all think. Thanks in advance for the info.
