The Internet has pitted entertainers and broadcasters against the studios, networks and production companies. As the Internet expands entertainment accessibility it poses a problem for the business: royalty agreements have a hard time tracking streaming over the Internet.

Royalty agreements for music, film, television and other media artists are severely lacking in streaming audio and visual content. The National Association of Broadcasters has been able to reach a nuanced royalty agreement with SoundExchange, as has National Public Radio. However, webcasters like Pandora, called “pure-play” sites are having a difficult time coming to a royalty agreement as artists desire a per-track royalty fee and these sites are often free to listeners.

As each industry drafts its own royalty agreements, unrepresented artists can use these legal documents as templates with access to the execution copies of professional royalty agreements found online at legal document resources like RealDealDocs.com.
