Can I license a film score and still have the rights to sell the film to distributors without a new contract with the composer down the line?
Legal Answers as of September 16, 2014 - LawQA.com: I want to make sure I have the same freedom I would if I owned the music score. What would need to be included in the contract? Typically I do a work for a hire contract, but the music composer only wants to license the master and synchronization to us.

The woman who answered the question gave the most generic non-answer I have ever seen. Her response to a very specific question was along the lines of "hmmm well that is a tricky one you should hire a lawyer like me to figure it out." It does point out a strange issue though. I am curious how this came up, it seems intuitive to me that if you compose the score for a movie then you are allowing the person filming to sell the movie. What is the situation where you compose for a movie and do not allow the producer to sell it?
