An artist’s biggest asset is their work. Starting with an introduction to copyright law in the music context, this talk walks through sample clauses from real work-for-hire contracts and license agreements, and compares the copyright interests in each. This talk also discusses the case brought by Halo composers Marty O’Donnell and Mike Salvatori against Microsoft, for unclaimed royalties from their work on the Halo series soundtrack.
