Stndrd.org releases an MSA for digital production. 

Life just got easier for digital producers, now that ACNE, B-Reel, North Kingdom, Perfect Fools and Unit9 have released a new boilerplate master service agreement for digital production on stndrd.org, the open source digital production resource site B-Reel launched last November.

The companies say they created the agreement "in the spirit of Swedish collectiveness. We just spend so much time talking about the same basic points in nearly every contract, and it would be good to be on more common ground when starting working with an agency or a client," says B-Reel CEO Anders Wahlquist. "Contracts are often based on other media, thus not very appropriate for digital, and they are normally within 60-100 pages which costs a lot for especially smaller vendors with less resources to go through them."
