Beat Licensing

Every beat sale is a licensing deal, whether or not anyone wrote it down — and the producers who understand that are the ones who don't get burned. This category is the plain-English law library: leases versus exclusives, what "unlimited" really caps, how copyright registration works, what happens when a leased song takes off, and why a real contract beats a DM screenshot every time. Read these before your next sale, not after your first dispute.
