Rights workflows should be documented before release, not reconstructed during a dispute.
- Save license PDFs or screenshots with timestamps.
- Keep split sheets and contributor approvals in the project folder.
- Record territory, term, allowed uses, and payment terms for each asset.

- Do I need a lawyer for every tiny sound?
- Not always, but for komerční release, major sample, sync, ads, or disputes, get qualified rada.
