Hi Chris, I’m in the early stages of starting a music production company; so early in fact that I haven’t decided on the official name yet. However I do have my first client; and their jingle arranged. Where can I find a guide as to how to write up the contract to release copyrights or license the song to my client? Any and all advice would be a big help.

Regards,
Shane

Hey, nice work. I’ve got a question, and you can privately email the answer if you want. I am doing some jingle work and I think I’m getting underpaid - how much do you charge for an original piece of music? How much would you charge if it also had lyrics you wrote, and you did the singing? Let’s say a 30 or 15 second radio spot? Or a 30 second spot to be used on a local TV commercial in a big city?
Thanks and have a great day.

The accompaniment is what is similar to Two Weeks. Not the melody at all. Nobody seemed to bitch when Madonna released “Hung Up” which CLEARLY uses ABBA’s “Gimme Gimme Gimme” as the background nor did anyone bitch when Mary J. Blige clearly used the Theme to The Young and the Restless for “No More Drama”.

So what’s the problem?

This is a good discussion.

Money is owed if there are 7 notes of a melody that is blatantly ripped off… its even worse if the same lyrics are used.

Music isn’t a perfect science so there is a lot of grey area in what is different and what is the same. I agree that there are similarities between the two and I should have changed a few other things a little more, but definitely no money is owed.

I would say this is an arrangement of the 2 weeks song or a mashup of two songs. As far as copyright is concerned, arrangements owe a royalty to the original composer.

But….the point is he didn’t really write it. It’s a blatant rip off.

You owe some people some money, or free haircuts.

Nice theme Chris! Good job
And for all who posted negative comments:
STFU, guys
try to write something as good as this, AND find a person who will BUY it, and then you can write a comment like this. If not - well, eat shit and die (c) Duke Nukem :)))))))

Sorry it took me a while to post a response. I had a blast in Italy over the holidays and my birthday… and frankly had better things to do than deal with negativity.
