Questions and Topics:
- When will someone exploit my work?
- Demos can be used to register a copyright
- Contract signed; then what does the accounting department do?
- Royalty rates are not always the same
- Exploited – in music industry = song has been sold and people get paid
- Is there a difference when a sale is in a foreign territory? How?
Tom did a great job detailing a lot of the aspects and the thing to remember is that if you are involved in creating music, even if you have a small deal, these aspects covered need to be agreed upon up front, or you have the potential of loosing money or going through a huge fight.

Tomorrow, Tomorrow | March 26, 2006
Tomorrow will be the first day we release audio, baring something like a major computer melt down. A few things still have to be done & as time passes, this website will grow.
We are interested in feedback. We have made it easy, just fill out a form and press one button to send.
Getting started | March 3, 2006
The hardest and most important thing with any and all companies is getting started properly. We are in the process of recording enough shows to make sure we do not run out of great content to release, developing branding items (this site & intro stuff for the podcast), and looking for additional sponsors.
