A collaboration agreement is a legally binding contract between two or more parties, aimed at a mutually beneficial project. Sometimes known as a joint venture agreement or strategic alliance agreement, a collaboration agreement is necessary to define each party's roles and responsibilities.
Under the exclusive agreement, the songwriter agrees to assign all compositions written during a specified term (for example, 2 years from January 1 or 1 year with four options), with the guarantee of a share of the income generated and usually a proviso for weekly or monthly payments.
In the absence of a written agreement you automatically share equally, even if your contributions clearly were not equal. Thus, with two songwriters, you own the song 50-50; three songwriters, one-third each; and so on.
Out of all of the types of music contracts, co-publishing (co-pub) agreements are the most frequently used. Under this agreement, the music publishing company and the artist are partners, and both parties co-own the copyrights to the music. Terms can vary widely, but a 50/50 split is common.
