Thanks!
My multiple posts weren't meant to indicate an added degree of angst over this particular scam. So many forums here; wasn't sure which would be most effective in getting these nefarious names out. I'm a journalist, and we are dogged types when we see wrongs committed. I could just let go (and I will; ain't my first songwriting rodeo) but just letting go is how we let unfettered greed bring us all to our economic knees. All you need is love, but carry a big stick.
To answer: If you think there will ever be a professional compilation album by Zanetis, "Rice", Diamond Garden Music, et al, called "Soundtrack of America" sent to radio, TV, industry artists, ect., I have[s][/s] a song bridge to sell you. When Zanetis/Rice was found out, I asked for my money back and "contract" rescinded. He said I would receive a certified letter within two days. But nada. However, I posted on the Horizon forum, and a songwriter thanked me for saving her because she almost fell for "Rice's" scam a few days ago with a different compilation title. Anyone with iTunes can compile something, but promising to be sent out to 800 on a big-time listing is ridiculous. It was too easy; my song is a good demo, but still a demo. He just caught me at a very down time, and I forgot the journalist's credo: "If your mother says she loves you, check it out."
I find far too many fellow writers on these forums tacitly approving scammers' immoral successes via sarcasm or outright blaming the writer. Let's stop that. Every songwriter taken robs all of you. Don't just let it go so quickly. Spread the names of the frauds. Hey, that includes TAXI (been there, done that). Invented the pay-for-subs scam.
