Here's a bit of trivia you might love: Do you know that there are two copyrights in every song?

2. The second one is the recording, also called the master.

Our client's true story:

Then an emerging visual artist from the Midwest, our client was asked to provide the artwork for an established musician’s upcoming album.

Creative Law Network was called on to negotiate with the musician’s management and record label for contract negotiation and copyright protection.

• While our client was sure to be paid for his work, we helped him retain his copyright ownership.

• He also retained the rights to release limited edition prints of the artwork while restricting the label’s rights to only for circumscribed uses. 

• This resulted in increased leverage and profits for our client.

And here's the win-win: The album went on to win two Grammy® awards and catapulted our client into the public eye.

Got an opportunity you want to lock in for success? Creative Law Network is your team!

We love album launches—especially of our awesome clients! ✨🎵

Teresa Suydam's debut full-length album "Lost Bird" just dropped recently, a labor of love she couldn't wait to share with all of us.

"A 'lost bird' is someone adopted out of their tribal community—and that's me. This project is a journey of healing from generational trauma and rediscovering identity through the lens of my Native and Filipino heritage. With pop hooks, cinematic flair, cultural rhythms, and voice memos woven throughout, this album is my most personal work yet."

From music in film/TV to two Native American Music Award nominations and fresh off Denver’s Underground Music Showcase, Lost Bird is a heartfelt, talented work you shouldn't miss!

Congratulations, Teresa!
