iStockphoto - Stock Audio Training Manual
7.0 Legal Requirements
7.1 Legal Requirements: Talent Release
iStock requires that you are the owner/creator of all performances, lyrics and recordings. Only unique content will be accepted, audio that has been deemed to be copied or fraudulent will be removed, and the submitter may be subject to legal prosecution.
Every upload of audio content requires a talent release even if you are the sole creator and rights holder. You are required to provide completed talent releases for the songwriter, composer, all performers and any other person or entity with any right to the sound, song (both lyrics and musical composition) and sound recording.
If any rights holder is a minor (a child under the age of 18), the talent release must also be signed by the parent or legal guardian. Please contact Contributor Relations to find out what we require here.
Valid witness signatures must appear for each talent (or rights owner) on the talent release. It must be someone other than you or another talent on the release. iStockphoto does not accept digitally created or digitally signed talent releases (this includes using script fonts as signatures, e-signatures and scanning and then pasting into the talent release.)
