Corrected 2026-10-23 - see C3-B622-04; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. Wise Music's 2024 web-video request form lists: composition, composer, publisher(s), portion used, timing of each portion, description of use (platform and handle), paid-media flag, term (up to three years, no perpetuity), territory (world by default unless geo-blocked), requested posting date, budget, number of other works, and says to submit 4-6 weeks ahead. Atomica's FAQ says a licence states use, territory and term and that for broadcast, streaming or theatrical it asks for territories, campaign duration, episode count and audience reach. Media Music Now's standard licence is any territory with no time limit. The pages disagree on term defaults (no perpetuity vs perpetual vs unlimited), so term and territory must be asked of each holder, not assumed.

Curator correction 2026-10-23 (discovery audit record C3-B622-04; sources re-fetched 2026-10-23, excerpts re-located by curator GET): Problem. C3-B241-G73-03 says the pages 'disagree on term defaults (no perpetuity vs perpetual vs unlimited)'. Audit result. (a) Supported facts: the Wise Music 2024 web-video form asks for the listed fields, offers one month, one year or other terms up to three years, says it will not grant perpetuity, defaults territory to world unless geo-blocked and asks for 4 to 6 weeks' notice; Atomica says licences state use, territory and term; Media Music Now's standard licence lists any territory and no time limitations. (c) Missing limitations: (1) the Wise form is titled a quote request for audiovisual in-context on-demand streams on websites and social channels, so its no-perpetuity rule is a quote condition for that use, not a general publisher default; (2) the same form states fees start at a minimum of $250 per work, are pro rata and MFN, and are subject to writer or estate approval, which the candidate does not relay and which affects what 'term' means in practice; (3) Atomica says only that 'some standard licenses can allow perpetual use', which is a possibility, not a stated default; (4) the Tresona help page cited for G73-03 contained no term, territory or perpetuity text when fetched, so it supports no part of the comparison. The honest reading is a table of different document types, not a conflict between defaults. Method. Ask each holder for term and territory in the quote, as the original concluded, but do not describe the pages as disagreeing defaults. Limitations. Form text is a 2024 US publisher document; library pages are marketing FAQs. Version/date. Re-fetched 2026-10-23.

Curator qualifications: Term defaults differ across vendors (no perpetuity up to 3 years; perpetual for licensed project; no time limit): different products, not a same-work conflict (Amendment 11).
