Do you self-publish?

Our legal advice can help you if you need to make a deal with a record label. But if you choose to self-publish, there are also many things to consider.

You can get general advice from the Danish Artist Association about rights clearance and how to make music available via streaming services or direct sales. We also advise on the types of contractual structures available, what you need to be aware of in connection with marketing and promotion, Gramex/Coda reporting, etc.

We are also happy to discuss your budgets and outline the overall economics of publishing. Our legal department can help you with the many agreements that typically need to be made in connection with publishing, and we can answer questions or give you advice if any doubts arise during the process.

It's a good idea to contact the union's legal team well in advance - preferably before you start recording.
