Document background
The Master Sync License agreement is essential for entities requiring ongoing rights to synchronize music with visual media across multiple projects. This document, governed by German law, establishes a comprehensive framework for licensing musical works for use in various audiovisual productions, including films, television shows, advertisements, and digital content. It streamlines the licensing process by setting standard terms and conditions, approval procedures, and fee structures upfront, reducing the need for individual negotiations for each use. The agreement ensures compliance with German copyright law and collecting society regulations while addressing modern digital usage requirements. A Master Sync License is particularly valuable for production companies, broadcasters, and digital platforms that regularly need to license music for their content.
