Leasing & Exclusive Rights
LEASING RIGHTS
Leasing rights allow you to use the beat (or song) for ONE commercial recording or broadcast. This recording can then be distributed at your price for up to 2,000 copies. Selling more than 2,000 copies means you must acquire a new lease or exclusive rights. You may also use the beat for non-profit promotional use or demos. You have full rights to record, alter, mix the beat/song in any shape, way, or form (except reselling the beat). Purchasing this lease grants you non-exclusive rights to the beat. You may also acquire new leasing rights if you sell more than 2,000 copies since your contract predates exclusive sale. The seller will not receive a royalty from the sale of records or downloads. You must however give full credit to the seller (artist and/or producer name) on all commercial recordings. Upon purchasing leasing rights, the seller still owns the beat(s) and the seller is able to resell the beat(s) to any other party until exclusive rights have been purchased. In the event that someone buys exclusive rights to the beat you have leased, if you have not made double of what you paid for the lease, your rights shall stand and the producer will make you another beat or is required to reimburse you.

EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS
Exclusive rights grant you unlimited commercial recordings and broadcasts. You have full rights to record, alter, mix the beat/song in any shape, way, or form (except reselling the beat). You will receive a contract in the mail granting you exclusive rights to the beat. You own the recording as a "work made for hire". The original seller may no longer lease or sell the beat/song, except for prior leasing rights holders and his/her own promotional page (no downloads there). The seller will receive a royalty from the sale of records or downloads as negotiated. You must give full credit to the seller (artist and/or producer name) on all commercial recordings.
SPECIAL USES: TV, Movies, Commercials, Websites
So Which One Should You Use?
Well it's simple. If you just want to make a song, test it out in your local area, post it on a few independant websites to try to get exposure leasing is the way to go,
but most producers by law can still release or sell the exclusive rights to that same beat to another artist if they want to.
Unless you built a relationship with the Producer or Beat Maker It's very rare to find a producer that's doesn't lease the same beat to multiple artist.
Lease Prices usually range from $200 to $500 from an established Producer or Beat Maker.
If you know you want to seriously push the song or it's gonna be on an album you are really trying to push commercially on radio & on all major websites getting the Exclusive Rights to the beat is the way to go. You will own 100% of the beat, it's yours, you can even resell the beat for a higher price than the producer sold it to you, but the producer still gets his Credits, Royalties, and Points.
Exclusive Rights prices usually ranges from $1,000 to $5000 for independant Artist & Labels from an established Producer or Beat Maker.
For Majors Artist & Labels the Exclusive Rights prices usually ranges from $5,000 to $1,000,000.
