Legal clue finder.

Contracts, fine print, platform terms, AI tool policies, data rules, royalties, takedown paths, deletion logic, and merch terms can turn music distribution into a maze. This page helps collect the clues and ask better questions before getting lawyers involved.

Bridge

External legal memory component

This page is a bridge into the Legal Memory Workbench. It does not give legal advice. It helps turn a messy legal panic into a source trail, a plain-language map, and a list of questions worth taking to a professional.

Source clues

Links, copied clauses, support pages, contracts, policies, dashboard warnings, emails, receipts, filenames, dates checked, and weird words that might matter.

Plain language

Translate the confusion into what happened, what is at stake, what source says what, and what remains unknown.

Lawyer-ready questions

Prepare focused questions so the first professional meeting starts from a map, not a fog bank.

01 What is the legal mess?

Describe the situation as a human, not as a lawyer. The goal is to find the rule trail.

02 Which legal areas might be involved?

You do not need to know the correct legal category. Pick clues, then let the agent sort the map.

03 What source types are in the pile?

Agents need source clues before they can help. Paste links and document names even if the category is unknown.

04 What words or clauses feel dangerous or confusing?

This is the mindfuck zone. Keep the raw words visible so an agent can unpack them without pretending to be a lawyer.

05 What should agents and lawyers help answer?

Separate the agent prep questions from the professional legal questions.

Clues

What the agent should look for

The point is not to win an argument in the form. The point is to find the moving parts: sources, obligations, unknowns, deadlines, rights, money, data, risk, and the exact questions that need professional advice.

Rights

What is granted?

Licence, assignment, sublicence, exclusivity, territory, term, derivative works, moral rights, and revocation.

Data

What is collected?

Analytics, cookies, emails, fan data, payment data, upload metadata, AI prompts, training rights, and retention.

Money

What costs or pays?

Fees, subscriptions, renewals, commissions, royalties, reserves, chargebacks, refunds, tax, and payout thresholds.

Exit

How do you leave?

Deletion, takedown, cancellation, termination, catalogue removal, account closure, dispute windows, and support pathways.

Risk

What could go wrong?

Warranties, indemnities, liability limits, content rules, account penalties, public claims, and evidence gaps.

Lawyer

What needs advice?

Questions where an agent must stop: rights position, contract interpretation, negotiation, threats, filings, disputes, and strategy.
