So Jim,
Would it be "unethical" for a person to book a flight to (Nashville, Los Angeles, New York) in the hopes of "maybe" getting an appointment with a music professional in person? Would it also be "unethical" for a person to book hotel, transportation, food, or any other expense while that person is out on that trip HOPING to get someone to give them the time of day to let them explain WHY THEY are the next big thing as opposed to anyone else?
Paying for guaranteed exposure through Blazetrak costs A LOT LESS than that. Oh, did I forget to mention GUARANTEED EXPOSURE? Going on a trip to a music city doesn't mean you're gonna meet anyone worthwhile.
I bet you neglected to think about that. But then again, maybe BLAZETRAK isn't for you, and that's okay. It's not for everyone.
It's for those who are willing to invest in themselves IF they believe in themselves enough to do it. It's not for the hobbyist or fly by night get richer's. There's a fee attached to getting video responses from these professionals (not because they need the money, because I can assure you, they don't), but because it weeds out the serious from the casuals.
Do you think it's unethical for Universities to charge people to apply to their colleges in the hopes that those people get accepted into those Universities? It's kind of like that.
In the world of economics, there's a rule that applies, "Ain't no such thing as a free lunch." Do you really think everyone's time is free and that these professionals are obligated to give you the time of day, FREE OF CHARGE? IF they like you and they think you've got what it takes to have a profitable partnership with them, you're gonna make your money back and then some. IF they think you need room for improvement, then they'll offer you advice in where that improvement is needed. Doesn't TAXI do that (for a cost)?
I think before you totally dismiss something as "fishy", you might want to reconsider your position.
NOT EVERYBODY IS A SCAM ARTIST!!! (And if I remotely even thought what they were doing was a scam, there's no way in hell I would endorse it to anyone).
Anyway, that's my two cents. Take it or leave it. I have no control over what you choose to do and it doesn't affect me either way, but I do hope you become a little open minded about things in the future because there really are good people out there who want to change how things are done.
