Доброго времени суток.
Издал я на одном начинающем лэйбле пару треков. Скоро издам ещё один. Договор никакой не подписывал. И вот внезапно мне прислали договор. Конечно на английском (лэйбл шведский). Чел с лэйбла говорит что это один договор на все треки (и будущие тоже), но типа если хочешь то можно сделать договор на каждый трек.
Всё что я понял из договора это что мне полагается 60% роялити и что договор на три года. Эксклюзивные права или не эксклюзивные на треки и имя, не понятно, даже с переводчиком. Подписывать абы что не хочется.
Поэтому прошу помощи. Ниже предоставляю текст договора. Подскажите пожалуйста что в нём важного написано, чем он мне грозит.
хотелось бы конкретно знать:
Разрешает ли он мне издать треки (выпущенные на этом лэйбле), на каком-нибудь сборнике?
Разрешает ли он мне делать ремиксы на выпущенные треки и издать их на другом лэйбле?
Разрешает ли он мне вообще издавать новые треки на других лэйблах под своим именем?
