I wondered what sort of responses this would get. I thought there might be something positive said somewhere. Maybe someone who has had the luck of their music being picked up.

So do you think the lady needing the teeth job was on the level or am I too trusting of people? I do know I would hang up as well and I'd need to see and verify the contract.



I think this topic is a two-edged sword. There is plenty about the music business that is unscrupulous and offensive. There is little doubt in my mind that it is standard practice to pay as little as possible for music.

But I think the people were basically honest in saying there ARE opportunities to make SOME money. Their thinking is that the artist's expectations for compensation are unrealistic... and I thought the presentation was geared toward lowering the compensation expectations of the people who hope to sell them the rights to their music.

I see the series you posted as a reality check for people who want to market their songs. Bottom line is that you can make some spending money, but you won't get rich.. at best. At worst you can spin your wheels throwing time and money at a goal that will never yield a bit of financial compensation.

Each person needs to decide for him/herself how hard to work to make a few bucks


Somebody should write a "for dummies" book titled "How to hold your lips when you kiss their butt"
