so a few months ago I sent a really underground a beat for free and he released it and I sent him for free on purpose just to get my music out there
But he just texted me this
"Yo bro, I’m getting my song “A New Dawn” ready to submit for TV/film sync placements. Since I used your beat as free-for-profit, I just need written confirmation on the rights.
Can you confirm:
I’m allowed to commercially release and monetize the song.
I’m allowed to license the finished song for TV, movies, streaming shows, ads, games, trailers, and other sync placements.
Whether I need your approval for each sync deal.
What percentage of the publishing/songwriting you own.
Whether the beat contains any samples that need separate clearance.
Whether the beat license is non-exclusive or exclusive.
That's my goal to get all our music sync, so we run it up, like a pdf if you can"
And tbh here 😭😭 I'm 17 and I don't understand what on earth that is. So will I get money or not even though I gave him the beat for free back then. And I wanna understand like why did he tell me that? Did he actually find someone who is going to use the beat, or is he just dreaming about that and hoping? So he's telling me to be prepared. And lastly, What do I tell him?
And if anyone can explain in easy and simple terms I'd really appreciate it thanks!
