You missed the most important thing. GET A LICENSED RNTERTAINMENT LAWYER FIRST BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING. Don't use ANY "standard license release form" that you get from ANY book, magazine or website. I would also boycot ALL download service sites and only sell you content directly. 10 of my recorded performances were sold through CD BABY and all of their on line distribution points and it took me over a year to get it pulled, and they addmitted fault, but won't settle unless i have an attorney. I also got an email from one of their employees several years ago before they sold to Diskmakers and they indicted they were getting something like 9 or 10 complaints a day and they weren't doing anything about it. The culprit behind selling fraudulent content is still selling other content for which is highly suspect since one of the musicians on some of the recordings didn't sign and contracts releasing the performances and CD Baby won't discontinue doing business with a record label/artist that has been caught selling illegal content. So word to the wise, before you go into the studio, work on songs together before they are published, GET A LICENSED ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER.
