This license is for any moving image, video or film production which will be shown either in theaters, on a mobile device, on television, on a DVD or on the Internet.

This license will grant you syncronization rights to place the licensed song in your movie. We will not ask to see your work or exercise any artistic control over the use of the music in your work. We don't think it's right for musicians to dictate what a film-maker's vision should be, and we hope you'll honor the flexibility we give you by giving us your business.

We see to it that the music has had the appropriate legal rights pre-cleared, and the music license you will receive contains a provision indemnifying you of legal liability in that regard. We have licensed our music to hundreds of films, from max-my-credit-cards Indie Filmmakers to global megacompanies such as the Regal Entertainment Group. You can rest assured that buying a license from us will get you in the clear, and we're happy to physically sign a purchased music license so that you have a hard copy as proof.

If your film does not yet have worldwide distribution, you can purchase the smallest territory license you need, and come back at a later date, to obtain a wider territory music license. Many films have started with the cheapest film festival license, and after getting picked up for distribution, purchased a worldwide territory music license (as well as optional DVD and music compilation rights) at our standard published rates. All movie licenses automatically include the right to make your film available on a web site.

If you need a "step license" that shows the increasing price of a music license at increasingly wider distributions, just create several license agreements for different territories using our forms (each contract ID will be named CM######), and we will honor those price quotes as a step license when/if you come back to us later. You can then use those price quotes with confidence in your proposals to film distributors.
