Approximately 100,000 songs are uploaded to Spotify every day; there’s a lot of music that’s out there. Most music that is created and put out there in the world is created by independent artists who wrote and recorded their own music, and for them, they can give all the consents. They can grant the rights to use the recording and the composition.</p>\n<p>If there’s a record label involved, the label may have the right to give permission. If there’s a publisher involved, they may have the right; it really depends on who the creative collaborators are, who the other parties are (if there’s a record label, publisher, one person vs. many people). There’s a lot of music where there’s a lot of people involved. It’s not just co-writers; it’s also producers. Music producers oftentimes own and control a share of a composition. I work for producers, beatmakers, artists, all the different players, and I know from just their way of working together that they’re each composers/writers.</p>\n<p>You need to make sure that if there’s a lot of people credited on a song, that you’re getting permission from the right people. Don’t assume that the main artist is the only decision maker. You need to make sure that everybody who is listed on a song is dealt with in some way: either get permission from them personally or from the entity giving permission on behalf of everybody else. It’s important to get permission from everybody who was involved in the production or someone on their behalf.</p>\n<p>If there was a producer involved and s/he never gave consent to the artist to use the composition, or if they hadn’t clarified their splits of the composition, you want to make sure that they have done that. It’s important to do a “deep dive” on all music that you’re using to make sure that you’re being very detailed and specific about who may have been involved. What you want to avoid is for someone you’ve never heard of to come after you later to say, <em>“I was a producer on that track… I used to be in the band at that time and they never got consent from me to use the music.”</em> So, ask a lot of questions to the musicians you’re working with. If you want to have music in your production, make sure that you’re getting consent from everybody who has the right to give consent for that music to be in your production.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/band-on-the-run-touring-insurance-tips-for-taking-your-show-on-the-road\" rel=\"noopener\">Band on the run: touring insurance tips</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/blurring-the-lines-of-music-infringement-law-three-perspectives-in-one\" rel=\"noopener\">Blurred Lines music infringement lawsuit</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/music-licenses-for-non-original-music-used-in-a-film-production\" rel=\"noopener\">Music licenses for non-original music used in a film production</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer’s E&O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&O) – Byron Pascoe</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p> </p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

to have music in film. Approximately 100,000 songs are uploaded to Spotify every day; there’s a lot of music that’s out there. Most music that is created and put out there in the world is created by independent artists who wrote and recorded their own music, and for them, they can give all the consents. They can grant the rights to use the recording and the composition.</p>\n<p>If there’s a record label involved, the label may have the right to give permission. If there’s a publisher involved, they may have the right; it really depends on who the creative collaborators are, who the other parties are (if there’s a record label, publisher, one person vs. many people). There’s a lot of music where there’s a lot of people involved. It’s not just co-writers; it’s also producers. Music producers oftentimes own and control a share of a composition. I work for producers, beatmakers, artists, all the different players, and I know from just their way of working together that they’re each composers/writers.</p>\n<p>You need to make sure that if there’s a lot of people credited on a song, that you’re getting permission from the right people. Don’t assume that the main artist is the only decision maker. You need to make sure that everybody who is listed on a song is dealt with in some way: either get permission from them personally or from the entity giving permission on behalf of everybody else. It’s important to get permission from everybody who was involved in the production or someone on their behalf.</p>\n<p>If there was a producer involved and s/he never gave consent to the artist to use the composition, or if they hadn’t clarified their splits of the composition, you want to make sure that they have done that. It’s important to do a “deep dive” on all music that you’re using to make sure that you’re being very detailed and specific about who may have been involved. What you want to avoid is for someone you’ve never heard of to come after you later to say, <em>“I was a producer on that track… I used to be in the band at that time and they never got consent from me to use the music.”</em> So, ask a lot of questions to the musicians you’re working with.

Approximately 100,000 songs are uploaded to Spotify every day; there’s a lot of music that’s out there. Most music that is created and put out there in the world is created by independent artists who wrote and recorded their own music, and for them, they can give all the consents. They can grant the rights to use the recording and the composition.</p>\n<p>If there’s a record label involved, the label may have the right to give permission. If there’s a publisher involved, they may have the right; it really depends on who the creative collaborators are, who the other parties are (if there’s a record label, publisher, one person vs. many people). There’s a lot of music where there’s a lot of people involved. It’s not just co-writers; it’s also producers. Music producers oftentimes own and control a share of a composition. I work for producers, beatmakers, artists, all the different players, and I know from just their way of working together that they’re each composers/writers.</p>\n<p>You need to make sure that if there’s a lot of people credited on a song, that you’re getting permission from the right people. Don’t assume that the main artist is the only decision maker. You need to make sure that everybody who is listed on a song is dealt with in some way: either get permission from them personally or from the entity giving permission on behalf of everybody else. It’s important to get permission from everybody who was involved in the production or someone on their behalf.</p>\n<p>If there was a producer involved and s/he never gave consent to the artist to use the composition, or if they hadn’t clarified their splits of the composition, you want to make sure that they have done that. It’s important to do a “deep dive” on all music that you’re using to make sure that you’re being very detailed and specific about who may have been involved. What you want to avoid is for someone you’ve never heard of to come after you later to say, <em>“I was a producer on that track… I used to be in the band at that time and they never got consent from me to use the music.”</em> So, ask a lot of questions to the musicians you’re working with. If you want to have music in your production, make sure that you’re getting consent from everybody who has the right to give consent for that music to be in your production.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/band-on-the-run-touring-insurance-tips-for-taking-your-show-on-the-road\" rel=\"noopener\">Band on the run: touring insurance tips</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/blurring-the-lines-of-music-infringement-law-three-perspectives-in-one\" rel=\"noopener\">Blurred Lines music infringement lawsuit</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/music-licenses-for-non-original-music-used-in-a-film-production\" rel=\"noopener\">Music licenses for non-original music used in a film production</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer’s E&O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&O) – Byron Pascoe</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p> </p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

cast insurance claims and they can be some of the biggest claims that a project can incur. One of the examples that I saw on the Front Row blog was <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/example-of-a-cast-insurance-claim\">when Heath Ledger died</a> during <em>The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus</em> (2009), which would have been before you joined Front Row. But that had to be recast with new actors and all of the fallout that happens from something like that and the insurance followed as well.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike Groner</strong>: I believe that is still the largest cast claim in Canada for a Canadian film.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: And I do know the largest in the US was <em>The Fast and the Furious</em> franchise, which was $50 million, and that was <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/how-to-call-a-wrap-on-top-film-insurance-claims\">Paul Walker when he passed away</a>, so a huge amount of money. Big losses to do stuff like that.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: The cast insurance part of the production package is without a doubt your biggest exposure on any film. You can just imagine the costs associated with replacing an actor midway if they got injured or died, or even if <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/articles/bid/25404/insurance-for-body-parts\">an actor breaks a leg</a>, and you have to shut down for two days, significant costs are being bled from the production company for holding locations, equipment, you still have to carry your cast and crew.</p>\n<p>Those are hundreds of thousands of dollars a day in costs that are going to be spent whether you’re able to film or not.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: I read a couple stories, one was about Brad Pitt in <em><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_(1995_film)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Se7en</a></em> (1995), and I guess when he did a scene and hit the car, he actually hurt himself and they just kept him in a sling anyway. So, he got hurt in the movie but he also got hurt in real life and I feel like they worked around it on purpose, so it’s possible to “take an injury in” and use it as part of the story.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: And there’s also the situation of actor availability.

misconception that if only a few seconds of a song or <a href=\"/articles/top-10-stock-footage-platforms-for-filmmakers\" rel=\"noopener\">stock footage clip</a> or anything is used, that it’s OK to use; that’s just not accurate. I hear a lot, <em>“Well, if I only use 10 seconds of this thing, is it OK?” </em>And my answer always is no. There’s no “10 second rule”; it’s not like a sandwich fell on the floor or that kind of thing.</p>\n<h2>Fair dealing (Canada) and music in film productions</h2>\n<p>So, if there is ANY amount of time being used from an existing song, you have to get permission. With the concept of fair dealing in Canada, there’s a process whereby there are some things that you can use (arguably) that is <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/bid/103438/e-o-acquire-proper-permission\">copyright infringement</a> but because of the fair dealing rules, you’re allowed to do it. Within music, <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/power-rangers-and-producers-errors-omissions-insurance\">parody</a> is one of the items in which you can try to rely on fair dealing. The thing about fair dealing in Canada (and fair use in the US) is that, sure, it’s part of the <em>Copyright Act</em>, it’s an exemption to copyright infringement, but really, the only way it can be determined definitively that it’s fair dealing in Canada, is if a judge says that it is. And it’s just not practical or financially feasible in most situations to go through the court system to have a judge determine that something is fair dealing.</p>\n<p>When people ask me, <em>“Is this fair dealing or fair use?”</em>, it always depends on the situation but preferably, you would not rely on fair dealing/fair use at all. You don’t want to have to deal with a claim and have to defend it and go to court and make the claim that it’s fair dealing. Fair dealing and fair use are key aspects of the copyright regime in general but it’s not the first thing that you should rely on when putting music into your film. You should be getting permission.</p>\n<p>Whether music is in the background or at the forefront or is the theme song of a TV show or in the credits, it does not change the fact that you need permission. You’re probably going to pay more money if the song is a theme song <em>vs.</em> in the background but it doesn’t matter if it’s one second or 1,000 seconds or in the background or forefront; you need permission.</p>\n<h2>Public domain and music in film productions</h2>\n<p>The concept of public domain is that after a certain amount of time <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/film-production-right-of-publicity\">after an author’s death</a>, the music goes into the public domain, meaning that people in the public can use it without permission. So, if I write a song today, if a producer wants to use it, they need permission from me. But if I had died 100 years ago, you don’t need permission. Now the question is, when does music go into the public domain? Currently, in Canada, it’s 70 years after January 1<sup>st</sup> the year after the author has died. I work a lot in the area of <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/the-evolution-of-clearances-for-animated-programming\">kids’ animation productions</a> and in those situations, you have people composing music that may be based on music in the public domain. Part of my role is to establish whether or not the music for which someone is basing their new song on is in the public domain. If a composition is in the public domain, then if you’re creating a new version of it, you don’t need permission from anybody. If a song may or may not be in the public domain, you need to research whether or not it’s in the public domain, and if it’s not, you need to get permission from whoever controls that composition.</p>\n<p>There’s a lot of music in the public domain and people who have made adaptations and arrangements of music in the public domain, and if you as a producer want to use a composition that is an arrangement of something in the public domain, you need permission from whoever arranged that public domain work.

I hear a lot, <em>“Well, if I only use 10 seconds of this thing, is it OK?” </em>And my answer always is no. There’s no “10 second rule”; it’s not like a sandwich fell on the floor or that kind of thing.</p>\n<h2>Fair dealing (Canada) and music in film productions</h2>\n<p>So, if there is ANY amount of time being used from an existing song, you have to get permission. With the concept of fair dealing in Canada, there’s a process whereby there are some things that you can use (arguably) that is <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/bid/103438/e-o-acquire-proper-permission\">copyright infringement</a> but because of the fair dealing rules, you’re allowed to do it. Within music, <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/power-rangers-and-producers-errors-omissions-insurance\">parody</a> is one of the items in which you can try to rely on fair dealing. The thing about fair dealing in Canada (and fair use in the US) is that, sure, it’s part of the <em>Copyright Act</em>, it’s an exemption to copyright infringement, but really, the only way it can be determined definitively that it’s fair dealing in Canada, is if a judge says that it is. And it’s just not practical or financially feasible in most situations to go through the court system to have a judge determine that something is fair dealing.</p>\n<p>When people ask me, <em>“Is this fair dealing or fair use?”</em>, it always depends on the situation but preferably, you would not rely on fair dealing/fair use at all. You don’t want to have to deal with a claim and have to defend it and go to court and make the claim that it’s fair dealing. Fair dealing and fair use are key aspects of the copyright regime in general but it’s not the first thing that you should rely on when putting music into your film. You should be getting permission.</p>\n<p>Whether music is in the background or at the forefront or is the theme song of a TV show or in the credits, it does not change the fact that you need permission. You’re probably going to pay more money if the song is a theme song <em>vs.</em> in the background but it doesn’t matter if it’s one second or 1,000 seconds or in the background or forefront; you need permission.</p>\n<h2>Public domain and music in film productions</h2>\n<p>The concept of public domain is that after a certain amount of time <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/film-production-right-of-publicity\">after an author’s death</a>, the music goes into the public domain, meaning that people in the public can use it without permission. So, if I write a song today, if a producer wants to use it, they need permission from me. But if I had died 100 years ago, you don’t need permission. Now the question is, when does music go into the public domain? Currently, in Canada, it’s 70 years after January 1<sup>st</sup> the year after the author has died. I work a lot in the area of <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/the-evolution-of-clearances-for-animated-programming\">kids’ animation productions</a> and in those situations, you have people composing music that may be based on music in the public domain. Part of my role is to establish whether or not the music for which someone is basing their new song on is in the public domain. If a composition is in the public domain, then if you’re creating a new version of it, you don’t need permission from anybody. If a song may or may not be in the public domain, you need to research whether or not it’s in the public domain, and if it’s not, you need to get permission from whoever controls that composition.</p>\n<p>There’s a lot of music in the public domain and people who have made adaptations and arrangements of music in the public domain, and if you as a producer want to use a composition that is an arrangement of something in the public domain, you need permission from whoever arranged that public domain work. If your composer wants to create a score that’s allegedly based on a public domain work, then it’s important to clarify whether it’s really in the public domain. There are different rules about public domain in different parts of the world; Canada and the US have a similar structure now.</p>\n<p>A lot of holiday and Christmas songs are in the public domain; that’s kind of where public domain comes up a lot in productions (to know whether a certain jingle is in the public domain or not).

I work a lot in the area of <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/the-evolution-of-clearances-for-animated-programming\">kids’ animation productions</a> and in those situations, you have people composing music that may be based on music in the public domain. Part of my role is to establish whether or not the music for which someone is basing their new song on is in the public domain. If a composition is in the public domain, then if you’re creating a new version of it, you don’t need permission from anybody. If a song may or may not be in the public domain, you need to research whether or not it’s in the public domain, and if it’s not, you need to get permission from whoever controls that composition.</p>\n<p>There’s a lot of music in the public domain and people who have made adaptations and arrangements of music in the public domain, and if you as a producer want to use a composition that is an arrangement of something in the public domain, you need permission from whoever arranged that public domain work. If your composer wants to create a score that’s allegedly based on a public domain work, then it’s important to clarify whether it’s really in the public domain. There are different rules about public domain in different parts of the world; Canada and the US have a similar structure now.</p>\n<p>A lot of holiday and Christmas songs are in the public domain; that’s kind of where public domain comes up a lot in productions (to know whether a certain jingle is in the public domain or not). Public domain is an important part of the music ecosystem with film productions and it’s important to clarify that in Canada, the US and beyond, that something <em>is actually in</em> the public domain.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/fair-use-vs.-fair-dealing\" rel=\"noopener\">E&O considerations for US-based vs. Canada-based producers</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/who-can-give-consent-to-have-music-be-in-a-film\" rel=\"noopener\">Who can give consent to have music in a film?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/filmmakers-insurance-part-i\" rel=\"noopener\">Fair use and E&O insurance for filmmakers</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer’s E&O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&O) – Byron Pascoe</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p> </p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

There’s no “10 second rule”; it’s not like a sandwich fell on the floor or that kind of thing.</p>\n<h2>Fair dealing (Canada) and music in film productions</h2>\n<p>So, if there is ANY amount of time being used from an existing song, you have to get permission. With the concept of fair dealing in Canada, there’s a process whereby there are some things that you can use (arguably) that is <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/bid/103438/e-o-acquire-proper-permission\">copyright infringement</a> but because of the fair dealing rules, you’re allowed to do it. Within music, <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/power-rangers-and-producers-errors-omissions-insurance\">parody</a> is one of the items in which you can try to rely on fair dealing. The thing about fair dealing in Canada (and fair use in the US) is that, sure, it’s part of the <em>Copyright Act</em>, it’s an exemption to copyright infringement, but really, the only way it can be determined definitively that it’s fair dealing in Canada, is if a judge says that it is. And it’s just not practical or financially feasible in most situations to go through the court system to have a judge determine that something is fair dealing.</p>\n<p>When people ask me, <em>“Is this fair dealing or fair use?”</em>, it always depends on the situation but preferably, you would not rely on fair dealing/fair use at all. You don’t want to have to deal with a claim and have to defend it and go to court and make the claim that it’s fair dealing. Fair dealing and fair use are key aspects of the copyright regime in general but it’s not the first thing that you should rely on when putting music into your film. You should be getting permission.</p>\n<p>Whether music is in the background or at the forefront or is the theme song of a TV show or in the credits, it does not change the fact that you need permission. You’re probably going to pay more money if the song is a theme song <em>vs.</em> in the background but it doesn’t matter if it’s one second or 1,000 seconds or in the background or forefront; you need permission.</p>\n<h2>Public domain and music in film productions</h2>\n<p>The concept of public domain is that after a certain amount of time <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/film-production-right-of-publicity\">after an author’s death</a>, the music goes into the public domain, meaning that people in the public can use it without permission.

that’s just not accurate. I hear a lot, <em>“Well, if I only use 10 seconds of this thing, is it OK?” </em>And my answer always is no. There’s no “10 second rule”; it’s not like a sandwich fell on the floor or that kind of thing.</p>\n<h2>Fair dealing (Canada) and music in film productions</h2>\n<p>So, if there is ANY amount of time being used from an existing song, you have to get permission. With the concept of fair dealing in Canada, there’s a process whereby there are some things that you can use (arguably) that is <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/bid/103438/e-o-acquire-proper-permission\">copyright infringement</a> but because of the fair dealing rules, you’re allowed to do it. Within music, <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/power-rangers-and-producers-errors-omissions-insurance\">parody</a> is one of the items in which you can try to rely on fair dealing. The thing about fair dealing in Canada (and fair use in the US) is that, sure, it’s part of the <em>Copyright Act</em>, it’s an exemption to copyright infringement, but really, the only way it can be determined definitively that it’s fair dealing in Canada, is if a judge says that it is. And it’s just not practical or financially feasible in most situations to go through the court system to have a judge determine that something is fair dealing.</p>\n<p>When people ask me, <em>“Is this fair dealing or fair use?”</em>, it always depends on the situation but preferably, you would not rely on fair dealing/fair use at all. You don’t want to have to deal with a claim and have to defend it and go to court and make the claim that it’s fair dealing. Fair dealing and fair use are key aspects of the copyright regime in general but it’s not the first thing that you should rely on when putting music into your film. You should be getting permission.</p>\n<p>Whether music is in the background or at the forefront or is the theme song of a TV show or in the credits, it does not change the fact that you need permission. You’re probably going to pay more money if the song is a theme song <em>vs.</em> in the background but it doesn’t matter if it’s one second or 1,000 seconds or in the background or forefront; you need permission.</p>\n<h2>Public domain and music in film productions</h2>\n<p>The concept of public domain is that after a certain amount of time <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/film-production-right-of-publicity\">after an author’s death</a>, the music goes into the public domain, meaning that people in the public can use it without permission. So, if I write a song today, if a producer wants to use it, they need permission from me. But if I had died 100 years ago, you don’t need permission. Now the question is, when does music go into the public domain? Currently, in Canada, it’s 70 years after January 1<sup>st</sup> the year after the author has died. I work a lot in the area of <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/the-evolution-of-clearances-for-animated-programming\">kids’ animation productions</a> and in those situations, you have people composing music that may be based on music in the public domain. Part of my role is to establish whether or not the music for which someone is basing their new song on is in the public domain. If a composition is in the public domain, then if you’re creating a new version of it, you don’t need permission from anybody. If a song may or may not be in the public domain, you need to research whether or not it’s in the public domain, and if it’s not, you need to get permission from whoever controls that composition.</p>\n<p>There’s a lot of music in the public domain and people who have made adaptations and arrangements of music in the public domain, and if you as a producer want to use a composition that is an arrangement of something in the public domain, you need permission from whoever arranged that public domain work. If your composer wants to create a score that’s allegedly based on a public domain work, then it’s important to clarify whether it’s really in the public domain. There are different rules about public domain in different parts of the world; Canada and the US have a similar structure now.</p>\n<p>A lot of holiday and Christmas songs are in the public domain; that’s kind of where public domain comes up a lot in productions (to know whether a certain jingle is in the public domain or not). Public domain is an important part of the music ecosystem with film productions and it’s important to clarify that in Canada, the US and beyond, that something <em>is actually in</em> the public domain.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/fair-use-vs.-fair-dealing\" rel=\"noopener\">E&O considerations for US-based vs. Canada-based producers</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/who-can-give-consent-to-have-music-be-in-a-film\" rel=\"noopener\">Who can give consent to have music in a film?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/filmmakers-insurance-part-i\" rel=\"noopener\">Fair use and E&O insurance for filmmakers</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer’s E&O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&O) – Byron Pascoe</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p> </p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

So, sometimes you need to have E&O well before you know what music is going to be in your film and before you have consent from the music owners to use the music.</p>\n<!--more-->\n<p>For example: if someone is getting funding from an organization and they require that you have an E&O insurance policy well before production, you can get E&O insurance, but the music is not included yet in the policy.

src=\"https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/61352/images/eando/doc-forweb.jpg\" alt=\"Documentary\" width=\"600\" style=\"width: 600px; display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"></p>\n<p>You sold your documentary! You met your distributor requirement of obtaining a three year E&O policy through the <a href=\"/documentary-organization-of-canada-insurance-program\" rel=\" noopener\">Documentary Organization of Canada (DOC) Program</a>. Congratulations!</p>\n<p>However, you read the fine print in the contract and you’re surprised to see several requirements:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, the distributor wants you to extend your policy to cover them by naming them <a href=\"/articles/video-how-do-i-add-an-additional-insured-to-my-policy\" rel=\" noopener\">Additional Insured</a> in case of a claim. No problem: you just send a request and provide us with your distributors name and address. This will generate a <a href=\"/articles/topic/certificates\" rel=\" noopener\">certificate of Insurance</a> (COI). The certificate will detail: your company name and address, what insurance company is covering you, how much insurance the project has (i.e. $1,000,000/$3,000,000), and what the retention (deductible) is, <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">e.g.,</span> $10,000 or $25,000).</li>\n<li> Second, the distributor wants to be covered for 5 years! You just paid a lot of money for a three year policy. Will this cost you more premium? The answer is no. There is a special endorsement called a “Rights Period Endorsement (RPE) ” or “Term of Contract Endorsement (TOC)”. This endorsement will extend the length of your E&O term to match the length of your distributors agreement as long as you notify the insurance carrier prior to the expiration of your policy. Just send us your distribution contract and in the majority of cases the insurance carrier will provide you with this money saving endorsement.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Now you can breathe easier knowing that your E&O policy is in place to protect your company, financiers and <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/109689/distributor-s-errors-and-omissions-e-o-insurance\" rel=\" noopener\">distributors</a>.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"/articles/producers-errors-and-omissions-insurance-quote-are-you-being-offered-the-right-coverage-for-your-needs\">Producer's E&O</a> will cover legal & judgement costs if you are found responsible for any of:</h2>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\">\n<li>Invasion or infringement of privacy</li>\n<li>Infringement of copyright or trademark</li>\n<li>Libel, slander or other forms of defamation</li>\n<li>Plagiarism, piracy or unfair competition resulting from the alleged use of titles, formats, ideas, characters, plots, performances of artists or performers or other material</li>\n<li>Breach of contract, implied or in fact or in law, resulting from the alleged submission, acquisition or use of program, musical or literary material used by the insured in the insured production</li>\n</ol>\n<p><strong>To obtain a preliminary E&O quote for your project, please</strong> <strong><a href=\"http://www.frontrowinsurance.com/ida-producers-errors-omissions-liability-application\">CLICK HERE</a></strong></p>\n<p>You will be requested to fill out an application and a quote will be given to you in most cases within one business day.</p>\n<p>Please note that this is an illustration only: for a detailed outline of the E&O coverage contact us and we will send you a sample policy wording.

They might be obtaining E&O afterwards; maybe during <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/post-production-studios\">post-production</a> or even later on, once they get distribution or other interest from a sales agent or distributor.</p> \n<p>The one pro to this approach is that when you <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/answer-all-questions-on-eo-application\">complete the application</a>, you have a good understanding of all parties involved at that point. Chances are that you have music rights obtained, you have any and all third parties and necessary releases, and if for some reason you didn’t get a location or individual to sign a release during production, you might be able to get it a couple weeks later.</p> \n<p>The con to this approach is it all comes down to delivery: if you only obtain an E&O policy to finalize a deal with a distributor, that’s part of the delivery process and you might go through that part and realize the film is already made, the final cut is done, and if your clearance lawyer spots an issue, the option of <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/how-does-a-clearance-lawyer-determine-what-material-has-to-be-removed\">removing it</a> might already be too late.</p> \n<p><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/109689/distributor-s-errors-and-omissions-e-o-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">The distributor</a> thinks they’re getting the final cut and there might be a situation with the project that could hold up delivery or the deal generally. This is the negative of waiting late to obtain E&O insurance, especially if there are brands, logos, and/or permissions that have not yet been cleared.</p> \n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Dave Stern</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Blaney McMurtry LLP</em></p> \n<p> </p> \n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span></em> Get a quote for <a href=\"/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">producer’s E&O insurance here</a>.</p> \n<p> </p> \n<h3>Related:</h3> \n<ul> \n <li><a href=\"/articles/why-are-certain-questions-asked-on-an-eo-application\" rel=\"noopener\">Why are certain questions asked on an E&O application?</a></li> \n <li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/102480/eo-insurance-for-film-and-tv-the-value-of-a-lawyer\" rel=\"noopener\">E&O Insurance for Film and TV: The Value of a Clearance Lawyer</a></li> \n <li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Clearance procedures – E&O</a></li> \n <li>YouTube: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbih45AJnVlE-_S7oNUpo0qzl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&O) – Dave Stern</a></li> \n</ul> \n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">About</span>: Based in the heart of Toronto’s financial district, Blaney McMurtry LLP is one of Canada's premier law firms. </span><a href=\"https://www.blaney.com/\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">https://www.blaney.com/</a></p> \n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">About</span>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that specializes in the entertainment industry – specifically, the film industry.

In a lot of cases, for certain budget levels and depending on which parties are involved, certain broadcasters or distributors might require that policy in place.</p> \n<p>There are obviously pros to this approach; not just because it is mandated by those third parties but it forces the production to get everything in order legally as quickly as possible: chain of title, cast and crew agreements, releases, any and all forms of rights and permissions that they need to go into production. The caveat to that is that some things just might not be obtained before or in the first couple days of production. <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/blurring-the-lines-of-music-infringement-law-three-perspectives-in-one\">Music rights</a>, for example, are typically obtained after production. So, there will be some contracts that may need to be sorted out afterwards. But once E&O is wrapped up for the production, that is a huge hurdle that the production has jumped over and they can focus on other matters.</p> \n<p>On a practical note, many independent production companies under certain budget levels may not have those third parties attached to the project before they go to camera.

auto;\"></p>\n<p><strong>Daily Call Sheets</strong> are a useful way to alert cast and crew to potential hazards for that day’s shooting schedule, and to inform them about which safety precautions they might need to take. Film Insurance underwriters appreciate the <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/111284/risk-assessments-for-film-productions\" rel=\"noopener\">risk management</a> component of a call sheet and take this protocol into consideration when assessing the film insurance risk of a film production.</p>\n<h2>The following should be included on Call Sheets:</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Scheduled <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/25570/film-production-insurance-covering-stunts-and-special-effects\" rel=\"noopener\">stunts</a></li>\n<li>Any special effects that will be used</li>\n<li>Scheduled use of <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/111705/firearms-on-the-film-set-and-film-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">firearms</a></li>\n<li>Potential hazards specific to the location</li>\n<li>Any required personal protective clothing/PPE and how workers can get it</li>\n<li>The name, contact number, and location of the first aid attendant</li>\n<li>The location of the first aid kit or facility</li>\n<li>The location of the nearest hospital or emergency facility</li>\n<li>Any other health and safety concerns that the cast and crew need to be aware of</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Safety guidelines should be attached to call sheets, <em>i.e.,</em> If any special effects are to be used on the set, then a safety guideline should be attached specific to the type of special effects that will used. For example, if you are shooting near a thoroughfare with lots of traffic, it may be useful to add notes about this on the call sheet. What are the weather conditions like? Will the crew require special footwear or clothing for extreme temperature? What about sunscreen or hydration requirements?</p>\n<p>Along this line of thought, it is important to include information such as the nearest hospital, along with any other emergency numbers that are specific to your location.</p>\n<h2>Other film & TV set safety considerations:</h2>\n<p>Putting up <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">safety posters</span> in common areas around the set as a reminder to pay attention to hazards around the workplace and certain locations, <em>e.g.,</em> <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/103371/helicopter-film-insurance-protect-your-production-against-a-crash\" rel=\" noopener\">Aerial filming</a>.</p>\n<p>A specialized film insurance broker is best able to present the risks associated with your film production to the film insurance underwriter to ensure you receive the best coverage and premium for your production.</p>\n<p><a href=\"/film-production-insurance/\" title=\"Front Row Insurance Brokers\" target=\"_self\">Front Row Insurance Brokers</a> are specialized Film Insurance Brokers. <a href=\"/contact-us\" rel=\" noopener\">Please call us</a> if you have any questions.</p>\n<p><em>The above information is based on WorkSafe – Focus on Safety – Safe Work Practices for Film and Television Production in B.C.

They have a similar repertoire system but there are some songs listed there that aren’t on SOCAN’s lists, but the bottom line is that these <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_rights_organisation\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">performance rights organizations</a> (PROs) have lists of compositions and those lists can be helpful to see whether or not there are people who may come after you if you don’t get their consent [to use their music in your production].</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/bid/117160/instrument-insurance-for-socan-members\" rel=\"noopener\">Musical Instrument Insurance for SOCAN Members</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/en/socan-instrument-application\" rel=\"noopener\">Online Musical Instrument Insurance for SOCAN Members, Available 24/7</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/whats-a-music-exclusion\" rel=\"noopener\">What's a music exclusion?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer’s E&O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>eBook</strong>: <a href=\"/errors-omissions-insurance-101\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&O Insurance 101</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&O) – Byron Pascoe</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p> </p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.
