Hi Steve + all,
If you read the how it works on our site - you will see what I'm talking about.
Yes technically we are able to register your tracks on upload - but as I tried to explain - we don't. Our contract exists this way as it is an easier point to quantify when a track enters our system. It does not mean that we register it then.
No copyright has been transferred until we register the track with APRA (our PRO). You have given us the right to, but nothing has been transferred at that point. There is no point at all in us registering at point of upload when you can delete your track from our site until it enters the library. We won't be marketing a library that does not exist on our site - there would be very little point in that.
We explain this completely in our how it works (there is a whole section explaining our publishing deal) and as I said before all the information is freely available before you upload and you can remove your tracks at any time until your track enters our library.
Library music companies are not for everyone - that is why we explain everything up front. Most library companies take 50% of all royalty types for the life of copyright. We take a LOT less and only on tracks that enter our library. It is fairer than any library music company I have personally dealt with. Please remember that we are a library music company - not a Myspace-style promotional page.
Steve, of course it is fine for you to not use the service - I am not here to question your decision. I just want to make sure it is clear to everyone as our system is not being presented clearly by merely quoting our contract.
If anyone is interested in the site - please read our how it works where everything is explained thoroughly and clearly and then shoot us an email if you have further questions.
Cheers,
Jason.
