Transfer of publishing rights
Publishing contract
HOWTOSUMBIT?
As an artist (author) you can submit a song bundle to WHAAAT.The publishing rights will be used to make money in a
crowdfunding round (publishing contract). Submissions of all genres are welcome. Both unreleased and released songs can
be submitted.
The WHAAAT jury is continuously listening to the submissions.Please give us some time to give feedback on your songs.
The decision-making principle of the jury is based on fairness towards all parties involved.This means that the jury
evaluates the earn-back opportunity of the funding sum within the contract period with the submitted song bundle and the
rights transferred from it.
WHAAAT concludes a contract with you as the author as well as the co-authors (if applicable).The corresponding rights to
the songs are thus transferred to WHAAAT and offered to the investors.
The funding target and start date of the campaign are set. Now fans and investors can invest in your songs and participate in
the success of this song-bundle.
The financing target is achieved.The funding amount (ded. the fee) will be paid out to the submitter with the release of the
songs. Now you can work with this budget. No strings attached!
