I'm too lazy to read the fine print at mp3.com and besides they'd probably try to mislead me, but I want to know if mp3.com has any say-so or power over your songs. Like, could they prohibit you from signing to a label or something with the songs u have uploaded there? Also anybody feel free to share any info or experience they've had with labels. I have none. |

i am on mp3.com as far as i know, it is a non binding agreement. you can leave at any time. i think that the only way problems could arise would be if you want to leave your songs on mp3.com and also go on another label. many labels would want you to take the songs down. but i dont think mp3.com cares. |

i'm on mp3.com. What is on mp3.com is copnsidered theirs/yours. If you were to re-release an old track you have to get permission, or take it down. What label are you going for? Speaking of which! i'm suposed to be producing my press-kit! not jibberjabing on this board! |

oh yeah, and do NOT send a mp3.com cd to a label, they know that it supprots universal, and will throw it away |

That's cool, I'm hoping that's how it goes... if you get on a label simply delete your mp3.com songs and they no longer own them in any way... I'm just trying to get info about labels right now. I'd of course want to be on one of my favorite labels like anyone else, for me Musik aus strom, schematic, warp but so far I havn't made anything complete enough or good enough to send them. I wouldn't send one of those mp3.com cd's, good tip though. |

heh...you should send multiple demos to big mainstream labels like...arista, virgin, def jam, etc...just to freak them out...'twould be funny...though probably not worth the effort |

Funny indeed, but proly a waste of money. If it weren't for money I'd have done it already...That I think they'd try and give me some shit contract... |
||||||||
|

|
|
yeah...but the few minutes of confusion/annoyance of some drone at one of those big labels is worth the postage! |
||||||||

hells yeah!!!!!! culture jam those mo' fo's at big record labels! their all owned by some italian company anyways! (even universal!) |

I love those labels that are purely in it for the love of music, like the one fakesch and de luca (funkstorung) started... musik aus strom... then again, I'd want money from anybody that wants to give it to me (or more likely a small fraction, the rest of which they'd keep themselves...)... Of course it's pointless since people just download music for free now. I wonder what it's like to start your own label, I wonder if you need loads of money, or if you need, like, a big factory that manufactures cd's or something... *m wonders until he's hungry then eats a sandwich |

actually i've been thinking of starting my own label myself with a friend. the only hard part is taxes...i mean anyone can actually start a label...especialy if your studio is your bedroom :) |

but you'd never be able to mass produce... 100 copies even would take all your free time to make, of one album... you'd want lots of albums from lots of artists though probably. |
