Several important things are missing:

 

11) Register your song with an authors society, or you will never see a cent of mechanical or digital mechanical royalties.

12) Allocate an ISRC code for every song, or you never see a cent of broadcast royalties, mechanical or digital mechanical royalties.

 

13) There are basically three ways to fill in a publisher:

a) Fill in "Copyright Contol," that means you add your IPI-Number, name and adress and your authors society, eventually with you bank acount, and all royalties go directly to you. This is the common way for independent artists.

b) Publisher: You fill in your publisher, and the royalties go to the publisher and the publisher handles your royalties.

c) You give your music to an aggregator. Check and compare the business models and modus operandi of the aggregators, and choose the best for you purpose.

 

14) Authors societies worldwide pay to each other the royalties. American repertoire is played all over the world. For example a little country like Switzerland pays $12 million USD every year to AMRA, ASCAP, BMI, HFA, SESAC, NMPA, Rightsflow and PBS  for American music publicly broadcasted in Switzerland.

 

15) Performing Rights Organizations, usually called authors Society, collects your royalties worldwide.

16) Performance Right organisations collect your royalties for live performances, and pays this royalties to the musicians.

 

17) Non-American authors should exclude the territory of the USA with from their national authors society, and register the songs with an American authors society. That way you get more royalties. 

The US authors societies are the only societies worldwide which pay more royalties to their own US members, and less to foreign authors.

Yes.

The music of American artists licenced to us is registered with an American authors society. Lets say an American songwriter composes a song for a South Korean artist, then the songwriter supplies after he registered the song at BMI or ASCAP. That's all it needs and the song enters the international data bank all authors societies worldwide have access to and know to where the royalties must  payed to.

like the amazon one

it means that it is 20:33 PM here now,

 

or as I usually say, its quarter past

Something is unlogical in the last few posts for me.

 

Would the Dixie Chicks fit in the program concept of this radio stations who are not playing them, or are we talking about radio station who do not play country at all?

 

.

Aha !

 

.

As it seems, they did it without the support of country radio, which largely ignored the Dixie Chicks.

 

So what's all the blah blah about free speech?

 

Is this another change in the landscape of country music, or just a one time exeption?

 

.

Could we say this, whatever corporations would play any music as long they think it generates money, and there are not really political reasons behind that all?

 

In other words, simple commercial opportunism with no political background at all.

 

For example as it is here, where more then 50% of the population are not members of any church, nor have any strong urge to force a political idea on opponents, of course apart from the opportinistic lobbying in the parlament, but have not really a chance since we practice a direct democracy. However, no one really nows if the majority are atheists, or if it is that we accept religion as a privat thing. Not that we don't have a tiny rest of amish like people somewhere in far away valleys who never made it to the Mayflower, but they are accepted and we simply leave them in peace with god and their music.

 

But i guess in the US everything is completly different, i just don't know how, but that makes your statements very interesting to me.

 

By the way, if you looking for nice houses and vacation spots, there are whole villages completly empty in the southern alps, where tens of tousands of people left to the new world in the past.

For me politic should be a public service, at least on presidential level.

Apart that he is the president, are there "arenas" creating business he also participates on, or are there none ?

Originally posted by blue2blue Not quite as much as the difference between rural and urban in the old Bosnia -- but almost.

There are no cities in Bosnia Herzegovina, except you call Sarajevo a city, but the Wienerschnitzel are exellent there. I am a fan of Croatia and it's dalmatian coast

The rest of the discussion is very interesting to me!

.

In this matters, are there huge differnces between country side and metropolitan areas?

.

Excuse me for this simple question, i live in a complete other political systen, and politicans here are hardly ever subject in art.

- Is there actually a US artist who supports Mr. Bush, or is it just en vogue to be against any president no matter what he does?

- How was that with Regean back then, who sent troups to university camps and people got killed?

.

Vanessa Williams, my god, each time i see her face on a cd in the shop, there is some devil in me saying "you have to buy that", but i don't even like her music that much

 

no, not at all, i was not cynical at all for once

Originally posted by object.session ....another one i don't like is "f-bomb". it's just used too often by too many people who don't consider the fact that it's a cutesy pun on "a-bomb" (or "h-bomb").

How about sex bomb?

The conductor must make it possible to eliminate himself in the music. If the orchestra feels him doing that, then everything will go well

Originally posted by ViLo Politicians lie?

No, not lying, it's called diplomatic language, or speech at diplomatic corps banquet, or talking to the nation. Telling straight how thing are is counter productive in political and diplomatic parlance, to many agressive dolts who lead nations on this planet. But all that is of no concern for us able by virtue of imagination and talent or skill to create works of aesthetic value.

well, i can honestly say, i don't like anything coming out of a politician's mouth, because it is obsolete before it leave his tongue, becomes a insult to intelligence while it travels the distance thru the air, and at arrival in my brain it's already a lie.

.

I just walk away when phrases like those come to my ear...

You talk to me. Not now. I'm with you in a moment. This war is common sense. Believe me. That's impossible. You wanna get killed. I can hear you. Illegal people. Heil Hitler. You want me to give you a blowjob. Can you make a living with that. This war is a war to end war.

Some of the dumbest: You're absolutley right. That's the truth.

That one is a highlight in dumbness: I believe you.
