The Single Song Publishing Agreement is utilized when a songwriter or composer wishes to transfer publishing rights for a specific musical composition to a music publisher under Belgian law. This agreement is essential in the music industry for establishing the legal framework for the commercial exploitation of a single song, defining the scope of rights transferred, royalty arrangements, and administrative responsibilities. It must comply with Belgian copyright law, which provides strong protection for authors' moral rights and cannot be fully transferred. The document typically includes detailed provisions for royalty calculations, collection society relations, and exploitation rights while maintaining accordance with both Belgian national legislation and applicable EU directives. This agreement type is particularly relevant when parties prefer to handle songs individually rather than entering into comprehensive catalog deals.
