All Change Please- These Rights Terminate Here
US termination rights have been somewhat of an industry secret in times gone by- and understandably so given their creator friendly purpose. For any not familiar, this is the legal right of a songwriter to reclaim US rights they have previously transferred (say under a publishing deal) after 35 years.
These sit quietly inside a catalog for years, sometimes decades, looking like a future technicality rather than a present commercial issue.
