Hi Jody and Brian:

Jody mentioned Music Reports earlier on this thread. I'm curious to know how they invoke the "Compulsory License Rule" on songs I have withdrawn from distribution from CDBaby and others... when they imply that they will be using my original songs from the cancelled albums. I would understand and be amenable to them providing their own recording of my original songs by another artist (preferably someone with talent and a following) but I resent the hell out of them attempting to "steal my work" and investment by claiming their right to use my original recordings under their misinterpretation of the "Compulsory License Rule." I have informed them this is by no means agreeable with me as both, an ASCAP Writer and Publisher and have not received a response from them.

For the record, I "pulled" a couple of Albums from CDBaby digital distribution because my musical skills were minimal at the time and I've either re-recorded or re-written almost every song on both albums if I believed they had any real potential. This sounds like "dart-boarding" by an intern at Music Reports to me.

Any words of wisdom? ----Dave
