Licensing for Upcoming Video Game

An Audiosocket video game client is seeking Rock music for a video game they're developing for the Wii™ platform. The game is slated to be release before the holidays in 2008. The total music budget is $60,000. This money will be paid the the licensed artist based on length of use (how much of the song they use) and frequency of use (how often they use it). Accepted genres include metal and rock.



Any artist selected will be paid for song placement. The artist will take 60% of the gross licensing fee. Audiosocket, as the licensing agency on this project, will retain 40% of the gross fee. The music will be used within the game only. If the game developer wishes to use a song for advertisement of the game (i.e. out of context use) they will need to secure an additional license for that use
