New Use / Reuse
Report
New use: When music recorded in one medium shows up somewhere else -- in a different medium for a different purpose -- then your name on the union contract can mean an additional wage payment. For example, a CD recording used in a film soundtrack is a new use. Re-Use: Many electronic media agreements call for additional payments to be made for the continued use of your recorded music.
