The Music Video Contract serves as the primary legal framework for producing and commercializing music videos in the Netherlands. This document is essential when an artist, record label, or music publisher engages a production company to create a professional music video. It outlines all crucial aspects of the production process, including creative direction, budget management, technical requirements, and delivery specifications. The contract ensures compliance with Dutch legal requirements, including the Auteurswet (Copyright Act) and relevant EU regulations, while addressing modern digital distribution needs. It's particularly important for protecting intellectual property rights, establishing clear approval processes, and defining the commercial exploitation terms of the final product.
