The myth that amateur songs are better than whats on the radio, is exactly the myth that fuels these enterprises. These things emerge because more and more vanity writers come running with loads of crap songs. The ego has always been expensive in running costs!

I still count on the ole Fred Koller book on pitching, if your song is worth a dime, people will want it, because money to you means even more money to them. Just common sense will tell you, that's how any business works. Make'm look good, and even better, make'm rich wink

The premise for these services is bad songs. They want money because they know your song won't make it, due to too few outlets in the current markets (at least for artist pitches). If I was in the music business, I would even be careful taking songs from these services, because they hear so much crap it must distort their ears grin
