Navigating the Complex World of Music Copyrights: Simplified with Rareform Audio


Music Copyrights

In the labyrinthine realm of creative projects, the inclusion of music isn't just an afterthought—it's a critical component that breathes life into stories, emotions, and atmospheres. Yet, navigating through the tangled web of music copyrights is a challenge that many visual storytellers, music supervisors, editors, and producers face. This is where the complexities of sync licensing, copyright clearances, and the search for the perfect soundtrack can become overwhelming. But fear not, for Rareform Audio emerges as your guiding light in this intricate journey.

The music industry is not a universe of geniuses—it’s a universe of hardworking people who have learned how to deal with the complexities and challenges of the business.
— Ed Sheeran

Understanding the Maze: The Challenge of Music Copyrights

At the heart of every piece of music lies a soul intertwined with copyrights held by labels, publishers, artists, and sometimes an entourage of rights holders. Clearing music for use in film, TV, advertisements, trailers, and video games is akin to navigating a maze with countless turns and dead ends. The process involves securing permissions from both the master rights (the recording itself) and the publishing rights (the composition and lyrics).

The complexities multiply as one discovers that accurate data on copyright ownership can be elusive, with publishers, labels, and rights owners often varying. This complexity can turn the quest for the perfect track into a daunting task, where multiple approvals are needed, and the path to clearance is anything but straightforward.

One-Stop Solution: Rareform Audio’s Approach

Amidst this complexity, Rareform Audio’s focus is streamlining the music process entirely. We empliment the concept of "one-stop" licensing—a solution where creators can come to us and license our music in a single, hassle-free step. Our approach eliminates the need for negotiating with multiple parties, making the process of incorporating music into your creative projects as smooth as possible.

However, it’s important to note that while we offer a one-stop solution for our diverse and expanding music catalog, remixes and covers might still require clearances from the original copyright owners. But with Rareform Audio, you're not just accessing a vast array of music; you're partnering with a team that understands the intricacies of copyright laws and is dedicated to making the licensing process as straightforward as possible.
