First, read the SGA contract. It is the industry standard for music publishing in the US.

A 5 year reversion clause for unplaced work is very fair and the purpose is to protect the wannabe composer from falling into a conflict of interest. Jason didn't say so but if humtoo doesn't believe they can place your music I seriously doubt they'll add it to their library. Why would they? The "content creators" or project managers PAY to use the service and expect to hear quality music in return. If the humtoo library is full of garbage they'll take their time and money elsewhere. Moreover, "Subject to rights of your PRO..." publishers can be changed. Contact your PRO or your attorney for advisement. If you don't have an attorney... one should be commissioned before further questioning:). If you don't belong to a PRO you can't post your music on humtoo anyway! So... do your homework... or get a lawyer... but don't quit your day job!

Finally, Jason answered your questions courteously and professionally. Steve, you were being hard nosed and you owe him an apology.

Hi T,

Thank you for the additional information. My apologies to Jason, if in fact he feels that I was being hard nosed.
