    Thank you for your reply Alan! (…a quick response because I text from mobile)
    I’m not in any PRO.
    About why so many names…I’m on libraries with very different pricing policies so I believe being in each one of them with the same name/nickname would be problematic

    Thank you so much for the link Art!
    Having already made the choice to have various pseudonyms for years, I have indeed experienced the positives and negatives mentioned in the link.

    I just wonder how it sounds to the (non-exclusive) library owner when you tell him I’m in 8 libraries and in each of them I have a different pseudonym. To put it another way, is there any reason not to mention in your initial email that you are in different libraries with different names?

    From my perspective, it seems that it will be a good thing for him. Because he won’t have to worry if any of the libraries you’re in have too low prices. Just wondering if I’m missing something. Maybe it really depends on the individual library as well.

    Thanks baconboi!
    I had already google it but i didn’t use the right combination of keywords. Trying it now, i founded indeed templates and some sites helping you to create step by step personalized agreements. I have to educate myself, to be capable of ” building” an agreement. So while doing this, i’m thinking of using Tunebud and it’s licenses categories as a guide

    Hi Music1234,
    Thank you for the very informative post!
    Maybe i’m totally wrong (i’m a newbie) but reading this sentence “…what would you charge to give me rights to use this song in a game that I’m making?” i thought that the client would like to buy the track directly from me, maybe hoping to a lower price or maybe because as he said he “…couldn’t understand Pong5’s commercial policy”.

    That’s why i asked in the first post what should i send to him, certifying that he legally purchased the track from me? Are there any templates of something like “Proof of Purchase”? Because i thought that he was interested in direct purchase.

    Moreover, reading about P5 licenses (https://www.pond5.com/our-licenses) it seems to me that the Business/Premium License, are differentiated from the Standard (Individual/Commercial) License, only in the number of individuals of the organization that could use the track and in Indemnification.
    So why an individual like this client to pay for an extended license?

    (Somehow i deleted my post , so i post it again)

    Thank you Michael Nickolas. You’re right..i over-analyze it.
    My problem is that often i have for example, a dramatic and quiet music and the only category that fits is “Dramatic, Action, Adventure” but i believe that in this category the client expects to find something that is “Dramatic plus Action plus Adventure” .
    Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqQ6ovFM2jg .

    Anyway i understand that i have to pick whatever is closer to the track

    Thank you all for your answers!
    I suppose, the “right to make changes..” is not very rare in the agreements, but the “without any notice” part it seems unacceptable and suspicious to me . How difficult is it to send a group email?


    @LAWriter
    The Agreement is Non-Exclusive and they will delete any tracks from their system within 3 – 5 business days.

    I have a similar issue and I would appreciate any help..

    In a few libraries, i use long titles (including extra words in parenthesis…for tagging). while in most of libraries i use only the basic title.
    i.e “Bright Faces (Epic Happy Strings Melancholy Strings Sad)”

    I usually heave many edits (8-20). So for each track arising too many potential titles.
    So, i wonder:

    1.Could i omit all the words in the parenthesis or it is part of the title which means i have to write the whole title with the parenthesis?

    2.Could BMI’s system handle 2-3 different title plus 10-15 alt version for each one of them?

    2.Taking into account the above situation, would it be a good idea to register immediately only the tracks/versions i sell (with the exact title it had been bought by the buyer)?

    EDIT: I noticed in BMI’s Work Registration Form, there is a “AKA” field for only ONE alternative title and nothing about alt versions (i am not yet in BMI)

    @Composer of Notes thank you very much for your answer.
    I have the misfortune to be in a country of Europe where the PRO is totally useless in this type of business. So I have not registered any of my tracks yet. ?n the last few months I have sold some “premium licenses” and had some Tunesat detections from networks in US/UK so i’m thinking either to use a service like Songtrust or to move to another PRO (possibly bmi or ascap)

    Finally..
    when I asked the customer to give me information about the project and the type of music use, he would like to do…he just did not show up again 🙂
    Any way, I got a lot of useful information from your answers..Thank you so much!

    Finally, this is the meaning:
    “I was asking if I could sample the track for another musical composition. Is it available for this use? “

    My answer will probably be negative or an (extremely) high cost for this, though i don’t know what could be considered as “high”.

    BITSLINGER There is an intro (with something like a lo-fi effect) that sounds like an old gramophone recording . But this is part of my composition and appears in the track later too (without effect). Well I’ll make a discussion with him and I’ll be back.

    LAwriter you are right! I had underestimated it in the first place

    I really appreciate your help!

    Was it something that was “watermarked, or has a electronic fingerprint attached to it?”

    No.. They only watermark was that of Pond5 in the track

    ..this phrase is what confuses me :
    “….and if so how much would that cost?”
    Because he already had found it in Pond5 (he sent me the link of the track)

    Musicmatters, BEATSLINGER …Thank you very much for your fast replies!
    I thought that he was asking me if it is “Cleared for Sampling” or something in order to use a part of the track in another musical work..but in the other hand as i read in the article bellow “…this applies mostly to sound effects, loops and samples.”
    Any way, may be he is the only one that can make it clear for sure..

    “Cleared for Sampling” (from Pond5)
