Mechanical License Sample Clauses

A Mechanical License is a legal authorization that permits an individual or entity to reproduce and distribute copyrighted musical compositions in audio formats, such as CDs, vinyl records, or digital downloads. This license typically applies when a song is covered or recorded by someone other than the original songwriter, requiring the licensee to pay royalties to the copyright holder for each copy made. Its core practical function is to ensure that songwriters and publishers are compensated for the use of their works, while enabling artists and producers to legally record and distribute cover versions of songs.
