You write a song and hire, say, a bass player or a singer to round out your composition. Many offerings on the site offer the consumer "commercial rights" to the material. But it's going around now that that isn't enforceable at all without a signed contract.
Furthermore, many musicians on Fiverr live all over the world in different jurisdictions. In the event that you write a hit song that goes viral, can you be sued by someone who worked on your song for a fee, even if they expressly agreed to give you commercial rights? If you send them a contract to sign does that fix it in US law? I read in the EU an artist must have their own representation to sign over artistic rights to something they created. |
