## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Sports & Entertainment Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/sports-and-entertainment-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |
| How AI is used | From the event run sheet, the set lists, the recorded music plan and the venue details, build a matrix of every use of music (live performance, recorded music, broadcast or stream of the event, use in promotional video) and the licence each use needs, with the licensing body or rights holder for each. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer checks each use against the licence the promoter or venue actually holds, decides whether any use needs a direct licence from a publisher or label rather than a collective licence, and confirms who in the contract chain is responsible for each licence. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: From the event run sheet, the set lists, the recorded music plan and the venue details, build a matrix of every use of music (live performance, recorded music, broadcast or stream of the event, use in promotional video) and the licence each use needs, with the licensing body or rights holder for each.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer checks each use against the licence the promoter or venue actually holds, decides whether any use needs a direct licence from a publisher or label rather than a collective licence, and confirms who in the contract chain is responsible for each licence.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check the matrix covers streaming and recorded promotional content, not only performance on the night.
2. Confirm the licence period and the venue capacity or ticket revenue basis match the event.
3. Confirm each artist agreement says who obtains and pays for each licence.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
