Document background
The Remix License Agreement is essential for managing the legal relationship between original rights holders and remix artists in Germany. This document is used when an artist or producer wishes to create a derivative version of an existing musical work, ensuring compliance with German copyright law's strict requirements, particularly regarding moral rights (Urheberrechtsgesetz). The agreement covers crucial aspects such as permitted modification scope, attribution requirements, distribution rights, and revenue sharing arrangements. It's particularly relevant in today's digital music landscape where remixing has become a significant form of creative expression and commercial exploitation. The document includes specific provisions for digital distribution platforms, quality control requirements, and territory restrictions where applicable, while ensuring alignment with German legal standards and EU regulations.
