Leasin' a beat,,,need advice.

[StressWon]

Okay, I know there have been previous posts, and I did search but none were able to answer my question. So check it,,,this cat wanted to buy two of my beats. My "Top Shelf" beats at that. So, I told him I'll hook him up, 400 for both. I normally would sell these for 3oo a piece, but whatever. So dude gets back to me like, "Let me lease them." I'm not too familiar wit leasin. So, for some of yall that leased one of ya joints, can you give me a heads up on what to do. I have a contract and all. But how does a payment schedule work? Yearly? One time? I know Big D got some info. How bout Swiv? Get at me please.

I leased that trifling beat I had. all leasing means is that YOURE not giving up your Rights to the beat. You can still use you beat for whatever, mixtapes, album, but the person leasing the beat can only use it one time and MUST give you production credit in the album or whatever its being used on. If you actually sell the beat your giving up all rights to the beat. and the person you sell it to can use it as many times as possible. Just make sure that the beats are copyrighted before you lease them out though. This could prevent alot of future infrigment of your leased beat. I hope this is of some help to you stress. Congrats Too!!

good looks Elemetree,,,thats what I thought. How much you leased yours for?(if ya dont mind me askin)

 

[Elementree]

$200. I lease for more now, but that was a pretty simple beat and It didnt really take alot of time to complete. I ususally judge how much I charge from how hard I worked on the beat

a fair deal is leasing for half of the normal cost or 3/4 of the original cost

I know this is old, but i didn't want to make a new thread.

When leasing a beat, could you just get the person to email you a email stating that they won't use it more than once? Would that be equal to actually signing a contract?

 

[Relic]

Nah... Id have em sign an actual contract..
They could always say that you manipulated the email..
And thanks for not starting a new thread!

 

[nonie]

Oh ok, true. forgot about that.

i'm not sure which contract to use though./.
