MOS DAWSON LICENSE
For your headphones. Your business. Or our next song.
Every CD purchase includes a one-time digital download package (plus one backup) with the music files, CD artwork, five license documents, and the track list for your purchased album.
USE THE MUSIC IN YOUR NEXT PROJECT
Your CD purchase now includes the Creator & Media License — #01MDL-0005, alongside the other licenses in your download package.
Use the tracks on the CD you purchased in videos, podcasts, livestreams, films, advertisements, games, and other media—including monetized content and client projects.
No extra license fee. No royalties or revenue share owed to Mos Dawson or MOS DAWSON LLC for these permitted media uses. Keep what your projects earn.
There’s nothing to fill out, sign, or send back for this license. Keep the included PDF and your purchase receipt. Add the music credit wherever a description or credits section is available. Just provide that .pdf when prompted for your license, and you're good.
The license covers the tracks and recording versions on your purchased CD. Standalone music uploads and redistribution aren’t included. Making a new song with a beat remains covered by the separate beat license and its terms.
Read the included license for full details.
OWN A CAFÉ, BAR, OR STORE?
Give your space an independent soundtrack. The included Business Playback License lets you arrange permission to play the covered music at one U.S. business location—with no additional playback license charge.
Complete your business details, identify the tracks, and sign the paperwork. Return the completed license and attached track sheet to the listed business email address, or mail them to the mailing address on the paperwork. Both parties must sign the license and sign or initial the attached track sheet before business playback begins. The download includes license documents already signed by MOS DAWSON LLC, so you only need to sign it and send it back to me, and you are good to go. Indefinetly.
STOCK YOUR SHELVES.
Wanting to buy wholesale for a record shop, retail store, or online storefront? The included Resale Permission confirms you can resell the genuine physical CDs you purchase at your own price, with no separate resale license fee or resale royalty payable to MOS DAWSON LLC.
Nothing to sign or return for resale. Keep the permission with your receipt. Resale covers the physical copies you own; it does not authorize manufacturing copies or selling the downloaded files.
Want to play the album for shoppers, too? Complete and sign the included Business Playback License and sign or initial the selected track sheet. Either send it to the business email address listed, or mail it to the address on the paperwork, and you are all set. You can up-sell customers with a live independent soundtrack. No extra fee attached. For only the price of buying a CD & supporting an independent artist, with virtually no activation or wait time, that is kind of unmatched.

MAKE YOUR NEXT SONG.
Hear an instrumental you want to rap or sing over? The included Nonexclusive Beat License lets you record, release, and monetize a new song under its terms, with no additional upfront license charge beyond your CD purchase.
Mos Dawson keeps the original beat rights. MOS DAWSON LLC receives 25% ownership and the corresponding income share in both the new composition and finished master. Your side retains the remaining 75%, subject to the agreement.
Required producer credit: “prod. Mos Dawson.”
Complete page 4, identify your selected beats, sign, and return all four pages before using the beats under the agreement. Sign and date any attached track sheet too. I'll supply the registration and payment details seperately. When your song is ready to release, use those details to register the 25% composition share and arrange the 25% master income share required by the license. Include “prod. Mos Dawson” in the credits, then send me the song title, release link, and confirmation of the royalty splits.
Follow the license’s reporting and payment terms for income that isn’t paid to me automatically.
Each selected beat permits one new song and its principal recording, including the alternate edits allowed by the license. It is possible that the same beats may also be licensed to other artists congruently.

ONE CD PURCHASE. ONE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD.

Download the complete package at purchase and save your own backup. The digital package is available ONCE per purchase with one(1) additional digital backup download. DOWNLOADING THE DOCUMENTS ALONE DOES NOT ACTIVATE PLAYBACK OR BEAT-USE PERMISSION; THE APPLICABLE LICENSE MUST BE COMPLETED.
OWN A CD BURNER AND DISC PRINTER? KNOW HOW TO MAKE RETAIL-READY CDs?
Have the right equipment, compatible discs, and techniques to burn the audio, print the supplied artwork, and check each finished copy? Put my music to use.
The included Manufacturing License lets you reproduce the covered album onto CDs and sell them in-store or online, with no upfront license fee.
MOS DAWSON LLC receives 25% of CD Receipts, as defined in the agreement. Report sales and pay once a year, by February 14 of the following year. A simple fillable sales-report form is included. A report is required for any year you manufacture, sell, or hold licensed CDs—even if no sales occur.
Complete and sign the customer section, then return all three pages to the email address or mailing address on the paperwork before manufacturing. My signature and your album’s license ID are already included. I’ll supply payment instructions privately.
Mos Dawson retains the original music rights. This permission covers the original album(s) and authorized artwork(s); it does not permit selling the digital file(s) or changing the music.
