Ok Sorry high and Mighty Cliff, Mr well respected forum member. I was not aware that you could have a social standing on a internet forum. I guess i better stop talking before all hell rains down upon me.
Nightreaper, How does one earn respect on an internet forum? I thought that is what i was doing the last 15 years of making and releasing music.
Once again, no issues on people downloading just thought I would make it legal. Why do you people keep saying I think i am doing a favor to someone. I am simply giving away a product free and legal, do you not understand that?
Flappy, glad you liked the stuff. My intentions were good when i came here and then one guy started a shit storm of negativity. Maybe I should not have fed into it but none the less it keeps the thread moving.
Charli, where do i start with why labels suck. To boil it down to as simple as can be stated. They take advantage of you. I know labels that have went to far to use two press plants to hide the true pressing number of cds and then not account for sales through mailorder, only store sales. They always say you are in the hole when you know damn well you aren't. I know most of the members of some of the larger bands in the death metal world and just about all of them have problems with their labels. Try asking around. I think they stick with labels because they don't have the funds to do it themselves or simply just don't want the hassle. I guess the only good thing a label brings is tour support as minimal as it usually is. i can go on for days on why labels suck. I have another band that was also on a pretty good label with worldwide in store dist and it also sucked. Even guys like COB who should be making much more than they are are being taken advantage of. There is virtually no money in this genre even for the bigger bands. The future of the record label is bleak and it is just a matter of time before all bands choose to be independent.
