thieves and pirates

[gunjack]

THOSE WHO ACTUALLY CREATE THE MUSIC DO HAVE RIGHTS even though unethical "label owners" try to tell you otherwise.


it is simple arithmetic:

if you print 500 records at 1500 euros for the batch. distribution price is 5 euro, that is 2500 euro!!! lets say the disto gets 500 euros of that, you have still made 1000 euros above the costs of manufacturing!

let's say you are on a P&D and the distro keeps manufacturing costs plus 1000 euro, YOU STILL HAVE 500 EURO IN YOUR POCKET, how you split that with the artist is entirely up to the (reputation and repeat biz of the) label but 500 - 1000 euros is GOOD MONEY.... good money that can easily be split into 150 dollar payments to various artists or whatever and the label still truns a profit.


so any label that refuses to even pay you 75 - 100 dollars per track IS RIPPING YOU OFF.


and any label that can not sell 500 copies of a record SHOULD NOT CONTINUE running at a loss.


reputable labels should be able to pay you at least some sort of gesture within 90 days and this is a FACT.
