Does anyone know of a good site or way of obtaining some simple sample contracts for artists and remixers as I'm planning on starting my own label for a side project? Maybe from work they have done for other labels (minus the personal stuff :))
I'm UK based and alot of the contracts I've seen are US tailored, not sure if that makes a huge difference for the main body text.
I've found these two examples online but they seem excessive

| Your best bet may be to look into hiring a media or entertainment lawyer into drawing up a contract for your specific label, rather than using some pre-made contract. I don't know how much that would cost, though. |

sign only friends/people you trust. no need for contract then. just be sure they havent used 3-part samples etc.
i got a few standard contracts around here btw but they suck, i didnt use themself as they seemed incomplete. |

Good points, if I want it done properly I'll contact a solicitor. I had a couple of numbers but have held off due to fear of the price.
Will report back so others will know a rough price for the future. |

No you can buy standard industry terms from websites for all recording situations and then personalise by adding you name etc. Thats what i did for Sonixbox and they are written by media lawyers.
Google standard music industry contracts |
