Are there any projects that have come to agreements on IPR or copyright
with any of the big agencies that manage the rights or artists and their
estates?
I am interested in whether these agencies would consider reaching agreement
on all the art within a project that relates to them (i.e. that they have a
general policy relating to applications from NOF Digi projects and the
like), or whether every particular item or different artist has to be
negotiated individually.
Is there a case for projects working together to obtain agreements from
such agencies on copyright for NOF Digi projects so that these agencies do
not have to be approached again and again for this purpose, and each
project is not left to go through the process alone?
