I am late to the game and have two songs on TuneCore, and no hits/leads yet. This info definitely provides energy to my dream of pursuing songwriting as a career. Thank you Liam and Cathy for taking time to convey your experiences and provide tips to help the little people. 2020-05-30T02:23:46Z Comment by Michael Lawrence Sound I keep hitting pause so I can take notes.

I was offered multiple licensing deals by supposedly reputable music libraries & agents. They always wanted every song on records. One library fed very successful soap operas & later rereleases of movies.The deals were legally unappealing.Often retitled the song. Always grabbed rights they shouldn't have-all the same rights i owned in the originally titled songs... I caught it when i read the contract, and my lawyer agreed with me. The libraries responded that i should have my attorney rewrite the unattractive clause...The libraries approved, then we both signed. In both cases shortly later each library sent me an addenedum that used different wording to grab the same rights i refused to allow in the first place.t The accompanying letter stated that i had 30 or 60 days to sign the addendum or i woul'd be dropped. Of course i did not sign... i also had a lot of contracts offered me that were 1000% dishonest. 2018-03-27T14:54:12Z Comment by Ryan Thomas♫ Can't make out the name of your agency? 2018-01-16T07:38:00Z Comment by Ryan Thomas♫ cool 2018-01-16T07:18:27Z
