To ensure you're getting a fair deal, it's crucial to grasp the different types of royalties and their usual rates, understand the importance of ownership rights, and be aware of common pitfalls in contracts. With the right knowledge and negotiation strategies, you can secure a contract that respects your work and ensures your financial sustainability in the music business.
