Common use of Recordings and Broadcasts Clause in Contracts

Recordings and Broadcasts. Where an engager wishes to make a recording or broadcast for purposes other than those set out under ‘Permitted Exceptions’ below, the engager will either refer to relevant prevailing Collective Agreements (eg. MU/BPI; MU/PACT; MU/BBC) where these apply, or negotiate appropriate financial remuneration for musicians with the Union on a case-by-case basis. The engager will make reasonable endeavours to propose a 14-day notice period of recordings to the musicians. Except where a recording is made under the terms of the Permitted Exceptions, or under another existing Collective Agreement, acceptance of a live engagement does not place the musician under any obligation to permit his/her performance to be broadcast or recorded. Any proposed broadcast or recording which does not fall under the terms of the Permitted Exceptions below or another Collective Agreement must be specifically agreed in advance between the engager and the Union. Permitted Exceptions: Musicians engaged under this Agreement permit the engager to record rehearsals, performances and other activity (e.g. workshops) in whole or in part (sound and vision or in sound only) for no additional fee, for the limited Archive or Promotional purposes described below. An engager making any recording under this Permitted Exceptions clause shall retain copyright in the resulting recording, and will not give away, sell, license or otherwise transfer ownership of the recording to another party without the Union’s agreement. The engager will take all reasonable steps to keep the recording secure and avoid any contravening distribution by third parties.
