Licences

90% of the master is yours

TH6 gets 10% of what the master earns: the producer's share, agreed before you release instead of argued about after. If the beat was made with another producer, the two share it: 5% each. On an exclusive that share is not fixed; that is a different arrangement and gets its own conversation.

The publishing is 50/50

The beat is the music half of the song, so the writing splits half and half: TH6 as composer, you for the lyrics and the topline. With a second producer, the composer half is shared: 25% each. Nothing on top of that: no separate publisher's share that quietly turns it into 75/25.

The three leases

Prices include 21% VAT. If you live outside the EU, you pay the same amount without VAT.

Buy 2, get 1 free: of every 3 beats in your cart the cheapest is free. 2 Unlimited Leases for € 500 instead of € 600. One deal per order; the best one applies by itself.

Why the licences run on streams

Every lease gives you the tagged MP3 and the WAV, and the Unlimited Lease adds the stems, so your engineer can mix the song around your vocal. Otherwise the difference is how far you are allowed to go with it. That is deliberate, because it means you do not pay the full amount for a track when you do not yet know what it will do.

Go past your number and you move up to the next licence, paying only the difference, never the full amount again. If it really takes off, the Unlimited Lease is a one-off € 300 and you are done. What you may do with the beat is the same in all three: sell it, video, radio, live, sync. All three also require the credit: prod. TH6, and the other producer if there is one. Before you pay, you sign the licence agreement for each beat, and it comes signed as a PDF with your files.

What exclusive really means

The beat comes off the shop and nobody can buy it after you. That is what you pay for, and it is the honest version of the word.

What it is not: it does not delete the licences that were already sold. Those keep running, and no shop can undo that. So before an exclusive sale you get the count in writing: how many non-exclusive licences are out there and to whom, as far as that is known. If that number is uncomfortable, you should know it before you pay, not after.

You get an exclusive licence, not a transfer of copyright. That keeps it cheaper for you and keeps the composer's registration with TH6. The master share is not fixed at 10% on an exclusive; that is agreed per deal, before anything is delivered. Do you want everything, publishing included? That is a separate buy-out, with its own price and a real deed, because Dutch law requires that in writing.

What TH6 guarantees about samples

Every sound in a beat is played, recorded or programmed by TH6, or comes from a source with a licence for commercial use. No uncleared fragments of existing records.

That matters more than it sounds. European law lets the owner of a recording block even a two-second fragment, and the pastiche exception in the law only covers a sample in open dialogue with the original, not a loop under your drums.

The Dutch rules that apply either way

An exclusive licence has to be agreed in writing; since 2026 an e-mail or an electronically signed agreement counts too. A transfer of copyright also needs a deed. Either way, you get it in writing before anything is delivered (art. 2 Copyright Act).

The bestseller provision stays standing whatever any contract says: if what you paid turns out disproportionate to what the work earns, the maker can claim an extra fair fee (art. 25d Copyright Act). That protects you as a writer just as much as it protects TH6.

Digital downloads carry a 14-day right of withdrawal, which you waive at checkout in exchange for getting the files straight away. That waiver has to be explicit: a tick box, not fine print (art. 6:230p Dutch Civil Code).

Still not sure

A licence you do not understand is worth nothing. Ask before you buy: contact answers licence questions first, ahead of everything else. The general picture, beyond TH6, is in the guide beat licensing explained.
