Stoneman,

The reason we expose scams is so other people do not waste their money on them. For many years, SOTY has been among the worst scams in the business. In our awards, which by the way are 100% FREE to enter, we used over 10,000 judges working for 17 months through 6 rounds of voting. The process was transparent. The awards were given at a public event with nearly 1000 people present and with another 12-15,000 people watching live on line. The winners and nominees were are mix of famous artists and complete unknowns who never played a live gig in their lives. But they were all real people, their names were not hidden and all of them could easily be contacted to verify any and all of what we do. In addition, the judging system itself was open to the public, including music fans, songwriter and artist peers and music industry professionals. In the last awards we ran, we had 42K albums and 560,000 songs entered in over 100 genres. We gave out nominations for the top 20 (give or take) songs and top 10 albums in each genre and then we listed on the website the top 4 finalist albums and top 6 finalist songs including the winners of each category. We also had another 30 winners for things like song, album, artist, band, etc. of the year winners. We handed out awards, again in public face to face with any winners present and mailed awards to all those who were not. Many people on this message board participated as entrants, some as nominees and winners and many more as judges. The bottom line, we did everyone out in the open, 100% transparently for all to see and scrutinize.

The SOTY people are the opposite. But you go on and send them money. In fact, I hope you waste every dime you have on meaningless scams. Just don't come to our site and try to sucker more innocent victims into their web. We don't tolerate it.

Good luck, you need it!

Brian
