i did a trade with dead beat like ten years ago and all the records sounded nothing like their descriptions.  i ended up giving them away because they all sucked so bad.

i didnt realize he was capable of doing something funny.

making tapes is how i first started making some cash off my old music, i was unemployed and started a "tapes on demand" label, but it seemed like people were more interested in downloads.  i had always just given my old shit away for free, but i figured, hey, if people want to pay for it, why not?  for a couple years i would make $30-50 a week selling tapes, CDr's and downloads.  i didnt want to pay an aggregator to put it on itunes and shit, but when i saw the bandcamp deal it seemed legit.  they take 15% of actual revenue, so there's no upfront cost and they only take when you get paid, which is immediately, you dont have to wait for quarterly payments or whatever.  i like that i can set it up to stream for free and still get paid for/sell downloads. 

and yeah, i am leery about labels getting digital distribution rights, because i know it costs nothing to distribute shit online and its a potential endless stream of revenue (regardless of how tiny that stream may be!).  typically i make a deal for a number of physical records and thats it.  i prefer not to even negotiate repressing until the time comes.  that was an issue when nanne tepper put out the evolutions lp, he got all pissed when i posted some songs online after the record was released, and its like "hey, i never offered you the songs in perpetuity" hahaha.  the only licensing i do is for a set number of physical copies of a record, i think there is less to get confused about if you keep things simple.

the best part of this all is that when i set up the bandcamp page, i negotiated with my band that i would do the work of producing/recording our stuff in exchange for keeping any cash generated by the downloads, so that money is MINE ALL MINE!!!  its win/win because we dont have to pay out of the band fund or out of pocket to go to a studio, i get the experience and credit for production, and in the end, i get paid anyways.  in the long run, it adds up to a fair amount of money.

nice!  yeah, i was just sort of stringing him along because i thought it was funny.  i dont really care what people do with my music, theyre gonna download and share and post videos and whatever, i just thought it was sort of stupid that the guy who told me i should get my shit copyrighted in the first place was so willing to distribute that same copyrighted material without my permission, the way he worded it was like he was ordering me, like "you do it or i will" hahaha.  i totally would have filed a complaint with youtube if he had posted it after that, just to be a dick...
