360 Deals

360 Deals are exclusive recording artist contracts that entitle a record label to a percentage of earnings from all of an artist's revenue streams, rather than just recorded music sales. These revenues could include publishing royalties, live concert revenue, merchandise sales, endorsement deals, book and movie deals, ringtones, and more.
