The math of termination rights is complicated but we’ll break it down for you:
WHEN IS A SONG ELIGIBLE FOR TERMINATION RIGHTS? This provision is called The Termination Right and is designed to give songwriters, or their heirs, a second chance by allowing them to reclaim their copyright ownership, but only after many years, and only if the law’s requirements are followed to the letter This provision of copyright law originates from a basic principal or fundamental of the music publishing business: When a song is first written, it’s impossible to know whether it will become commercially successful over time. This article is written from two perspectives – The songwriter or their heirs who want to reclaim the copyright and the publisher who wants to continue ownership of the song or acquire rights to a copyright whose right have terminated.
