Music 101# Don't trust every online company to sell your music!

I'm looking over a friends quarterly statement & he's piss! He sign up with ASCAP & they don't have any of his music on file & they never even sent his sale counts to ASCAP 2 track his music & he's moving units world wide! O.K. Business people what's wrong with this picture!

O.K. I should be charging for this! But I'm buzz off drank & the Suns will live for another day!HA! ARTIST,PRODUCERS & anyone deal with sales! never let anyone who don't earn their money hold s***! They take $3.00 bucks off every CD! & 20 cent off of every down load! just 2 collect your money! when company ask, they E-mail them a copy! Most company's now let you do that 4 free! They don't market,they don't promote! Thing about it long and hard before you do the deal, because once it's in motion it's hard to track down where your music is going and if they don't have to report to ASCAP or BMI who is really watching your sales? sure they give you a print out ,but that's according to them! The Orchard too They all just sit on your music until someone request that album or song! What do you think they tell Wal-mart or best Buy when they ask for any hot new releases? Nothing because they don't promote just collect your money. The really bad part about all this is if for some reason they shut down your out in the cold without a third party to back you in court if it comes to that. The Major's label's don't have a track record of you, so how can they find u! If you ask me i think it really hurt the sales of all the indie artist and labels because your fighting for air time , your fighting stage time the last thing you need to fight for is marketing time at the stores and online. ASCAP should pull their membership because their not being fair with their artist when they sign up! So ALL Members of ASCAP and BMI  stand up and make them report everything!!! When artist see that you work with ascap that give them a fake sense of protection! It's not right!
