Split Sheet Q
Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2017 10:24 am
Hey guys.
I've got a situation where a work-for-hire (I'm the one being hired) may turn into a collaboration instead.
I'm familiar with split sheets, but I'm curious about one thing -- if I'm going to be approaching this from a co-writing perspective and no longer charging anything outright, is there a way to protect yourself when you're working with someone 'unknown'?
By that I mean that I've never met this person -- just online contact (and have obviously heard their work!)
I doubt that this would happen in this case, but for example, is there any way to protect yourself if you essentially hand over a track and then they never do anything with it? Some kind of clause you write into your split sheet (kind of like a reversion)?
Also, is a split shit sufficient legal documentation if the track was taken and used, but you never receive the final master?
Like I said, highly doubt that any of this is going to be an issue in this case. Just want to make sure that I'm covering all bases in my knowledge!
Thanks in advance
