First consensus on contractual standards for the music business confirmed in Frankfurt

First consensus on contractual standards for the music business confirmed in
Frankfurt

The conference in Frankfurt - reality check

At the Frankfurt Music Fair, musicians, label owners, event organisers, operators of
online music services, and special interest groups met to revise the drafts of fair
contractual standards with a reality check, in order to finally apply and establish these
standards. Subjects covered were contractual standards for music recordings, live
performances and online music services.

Contractual standards for music recordings

The standards for music recordings passed the reality check in Frankfurt. Conference
participants were able to finally agree on the most important and controversial clauses of
the contractual standards. A certification of music recordings can thereby be realized in
the near future.
This positions the next big step towards more transparent and fair conditions in the
music business.
