There was some discussion on www.songwriter101.comAs I recall, people were being contacted who had no songs posted anywhere, yet were being offered publishing deals. Most publishers don't offer deals on music they have not heard. And it seems there was another name, Duval Cannon, used by the same company. I think someone had paid them $300 and then were told they couldn't get into a studio to do the promised demonstration recording. Without a Reversion Clause a contract to give publishing in any percentage would entitle the other party to the contract to Publishing Royalties for the life of the copyright, which is your lifetime plus 70 years or something. So, if they do nothing, but you get the song cut and released, where it can earn royalties, the other party would have rights to the Pub. Royalties.
There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com
