yeah.. . isnt that the way its supposed to work ? oh well.. . good luck.. . whats the name of the label.. . might have to stay away from those guys. .. |

all a label does is bassically lend you the money to put something out. organize / promote it for you. if it dont sell, you usually owe them. anyway...they let it slide. |

how many sales? sounds like a bad choice of label to me |
||||||||

my label doesnt work that way. unless they give an advance. promo is usually worked into the cost of the record from the ground up and then royalties given after that. so you should have recieved something. might want to revisit your contract? sorry to hear you didnt get what you wanted straight away. |

yeah, the whole thing got blown out a bit when the main distribution company pulled the plug. the only copies sold where through the internet, and in a few stores throughout england. just ended up costing them more than they made. its all ok. just thought it was funny really. i open the letter, to find a negative statement. hehe. |

australian performers rights association. they pay you royalties for playing gigs / radio airplay. ive been a member since i used to play in a band. it comes in handy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wait, so ANY radio play/gigs can get you royalties? or just stuff they support or whowhat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

yep. they collect money from radio stations / resturants / shopping centres. anywhere that plays music. all that money is pooled, and at the end of the year, you send in a statement listing all your gigs. they trak down your airplay via radio, and divy up the dosh and send it to you. its how all artists get paid in this country. they also collect your royalties if you have releases o/s. these organizations are set up all over the world to help musicians collect money from people listining to there music. hell, last year i even got paid for people downloading my mp3s. |
