License Agreement Between Record Producer And Music Aggregator (Study on Frm Musik)

Abstract

In the fast-growing music industry, agreements between record producers and music aggregators form a vital framework for the distribution and marketing of musical works. To ensure legality, a cooperation contract is required, covering aspects such as copyright, licensing, agreement duration, revenue sharing, and the obligations and responsibilities of each party. This research aims to analyze whether these agreements comply with positive law and Islamic law. The research method is empirical legal research analyzed qualitatively, with data collected through interviews with record producers at FRM Musik and observations of documents related to the agreement between music aggregators and FRM Musik. The data is analyzed by reviewing relevant legislation, such as the Copyright Law, ITE Law, and the Compilation of Sharia Economic Law (KHES). The analysis shows that the license agreement, signed electronically, meets the requirements of Article 11 of the ITE Law, making it valid and legally binding. According to the Copyright Law, the agreement regulates the economic and moral rights of the creator. Based on KHES, the agreement fulfills principles of voluntariness, trustworthiness, mutual benefit, equality, and transparency, and is included in the ijarah contract. In conclusion, the agreement meets the elements of positive law and the principles of Islamic law.
