WHY SHOULD I USE COPYRIGHT AGREEMENTS?

Without a witten agreement in place, anyone that you collaborate with has an equal claim of ownership and rights to your content by default under U.S. copyright law, even if you paid them.

When your collaborators aren't sure who has permission to license or sell your content, it can lead to your copyrights being exploited, lost income, disputes, lawsuits, and more. Taking the time to outline copyright ownership now can help you avoid expensive legal and financial issues later. You also may not be able to register with digital services, publishers, rights societies, etc. without deciding copyright ownership beforehand.
