| Music Licensing Contract (simple one)
Hello.. I sent 6 Cds to a company, and will get paid a meager sum of $50 per CD for music usage on their nationwide business answering machine services for 99 years. I am OK with this BUT I want the company to use the songs for LICENSING purposes ONLY. I want full rights to OWN my own songs, and rights to market these songs to other licensing agreements, and publishing companies....So...does this contract basically SAY that? It appears to me, that it does say this but I wanted to run it by someone else who is intelligent, to let me know if I am right on this. If you are not sure, then just let me know what it APPEARS to say to you...The Company CEO signed it in full signature as well (but I took it out of this email for privacy reasons)..Thank you..Angela
