Awesome! I think that’s well worth the cigar!
I don’t get involved with Content ID at all – more trouble than it’s worth.
Up until a couple of years ago I had an actual job working for ‘the man’. I use that as motivation as the thought of alarm clocks and working outside in the cold and having a boss again makes me shudder.
I still procrastinate too much though – I imagine it’s one of the pitfalls of being a one person operation. Maybe a boss would actually be a good idea every now and again!
I’ve been fortunate enough to recieve a couple of decent lump sums already since I’ve been doing this – the sort of amounts where you can get a holiday or a car or something really cool, so every morning as I sit down to write I imagine where in the world I’d still like to go and where each tune can potentially take me if it ends up getting licensed.
That’s pretty motivating.
Hey wait – isn’t this procrastinating too? I’d better get to work… 🙂Wow it looks like I got competition already – I’ll do it for four dollars!
(is this what they mean by the race to the bottom..?)
If anyone wants to send me five dollars I’ll listen to your music 😉
As Han Solo says: ‘Never tell me the odds!’
No but just looked it up, thanks. They are clearly breaking the law. It will be interesting to see where it goes. Here’s where I read about it:
Spotify hit with second US songwriter lawsuit – this time for $200m
I call all my tracks ‘Inspiring Corporate’ and make sure I use the words ‘inspiring’ and ‘corporate’ thirty times each in the keywords. 😉
Oh. That does sound questionable! Sounds like you need to find one who isn’t being secretive!
You mean writers who have pseudonyms?
I use pre-cleared RF samples and loops all the time, but sparingly. Using them extensively or using ‘construction kits’ in the age of digital fingerprinting can and will lead to copyright infringement issues, as too many people are using the same kits which essentially makes their tracks identical.
That’s great Danny congratulations.
Never hand over money to have someone listen to your music.
Great topic. Reading all these makes me want to quit whining about the state of the business and keep on going!
I had an extra seven thousand pounds on my PRS statement this quarter for a tune used on a 20 second ad for a French optician. You can hardly hear the track in the background! I presume it was downloaded from Pond5 or somewhere similar as there’s no publisher listed on the statement – even better! So at the moment that one is my favourite.
