AKM - Music
This is an interesting link that promise to sell music under license. This license is world wide as promoted on their web site. Although on investigation I could not find how this was enforced. This does not mean it is not but if you are considering been part of there distribution services, you need clarification on this.
This is a selling site and has no information on joining their services. On reading their available web site information I consider this as a producers orientated enterprise. If this is the case the contract that you enter in to gives them full rights to your productions as you will be considered as employees but little is said.
They also state that the purchaser of the CD can use the contents of it as much as they like. Also they can sample music in length terms. This means you do not have synchronized contractual abilities after you have given the rights over to AKM Music or the ability to negotiate other revenue stems. AKM music do employ PRS affiliated musicians and state that they do receive royalties. Although they state that 'on hold applicants' do not receive royalties by PPL or PRS. This must be a contractual agreement.
So is this a link for those looking to sell their own music? If you do investigate this please let us know of the small print, as their web site is not any help on this topic.
After listening to the promo tracks, I found it miss leading as it did not do what it said on the package. Although I would find it helpful with the track listing names from a purchasers point of view to attain similar style of music of the chart toper's.
In all they do what they promote from a buyers point of view but check the small print if your interested in giving over 'All Rights'
Hope this helps

Intersting response, As with most music sites these days I have discovered there is a somewhat dark side to them. This is one reason the forum was created to get people away from this,we aim to keep it real and not missle people into false promises. When we at the forum say "FREE" thats what you get.
Thanks
