Question for professional musicians
A friend posed a question to me that I thought you might be able to help out with.
He works in a church, and they have semi-regular classical music concerts. They do not have a full time orchestra, obviously, so they hire musicians for one-night shows as needed. The musicians get paid a couple hundred bucks to play and that's it.
So, if the church were to record these performances and sell them to the congregation to raise money, is the expectation that these musicians get paid a cut of sales?
I know that legally the church should ask them to sign a waiver of future royalties, but as a practical matter, what is the expectation?
Thoughts?
