Brian...Agreed..

My message was that there are services that are paid for upfront and they are legit...

You have to know which of those are legit,and not lump them in all in one basket ,with a blanket statement.

Hopefully this forum will clear up some of the misconceptions of dealing with publishers and artists and producers..And I think it is..

The biggest rip are those companys that want the writer or the artist to pay for publishing their song. Some of the song plugger companys are a rip, some of , if not all of, the artist companys that you pay upfront to make you a star ,are a rip.

I know of a record company that was really just a tax shelter thing..they didnt really want to make money..
But they released an album and a single ,just like a real record company...
Bam.. right up the charts without any promo...
Bam a grammy...
Bam a star act was born from a rip lable...Well maybe not a rip lable but not a real label either...

And the act had several other top 10 hits ...

That was not the norm...They were an exception to the rule.

Dont count on being the exception to the rule.
