What are 1st use rights in music?

The first use of a copyrighted song is controlled by the copyright owner. This means the owner has the exclusive right to decide who records the song and how it is used. After the first use, a compulsory license takes effect, allowing anyone to record the song as long as they request a license and pay the required fees.

Understanding Music Rights is essential for producers and artists looking to legally distribute and monetize their tracks. Whether you're navigating copyright laws, licensing agreements, or royalty structures, proper rights management is key to protecting your work. At House of Tracks, we provide a seamless platform for buying and selling exclusive tracks, helping creators secure their intellectual property.
