Hors sujet :

Citation : PER OUR ATTORNEY, WE HAVE TO GO WITH THE INITIAL AGREEMENT. WE CANNOT NEGOTIATE
A LICENSE AGREEMENT SINCE YOU DO NOT OWN THE COPYRIGHT TO THE MATERIAL. YOU
HAVE USED A SAMPLE OF ANOTHER RECORDING AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO CLEAR IT BEFORE
LICENSING IT OUT TO US, WHICH WILL COST YOU TIME AND MONEY. SO, EITHER WE OWN
THE MASTER PER THE INITIAL AGREEMENT OR YOU CLEAR THE SAMPLES AND WE LICENSE IT
FROM YOU AFTERWARDS.

Citation : OF COURSE IT COSTS MORE TO PRODUCE A COMPILATION! PLEASE, DO YOUR RESEARCH
BEFORE SPENDING OUR TIME ON THIS. THE RATE STANDS AT 10%

Citation : I HOPE TO MAKE THE RECORD ALSO, BUT TO DO SO, YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE
MECHANICS OF THE INDUSTRY. THE REQUESTS YOU ARE MAKING ARE NOT TYPICAL AND
FURTHERMORE, YOU ARE NOT AN ARTIST WITH A SALES HISTORY. IF YOU HAD A PROVEN
TRACK RECORD, THEN MAYBE WE COULD SPEND MORE TIME REVISING THE AGREEMENT. WE
ARE TAKING A GAMBLE ON YOU, AND YOU ON US.

Citation : OF COURSE IT COSTS MORE TO PRODUCE A COMPILATION! PLEASE, DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE SPENDING OUR TIME ON THIS. THE RATE STANDS AT 10%

Citation : Voilà pour le juridique. Apres, il n'y a que toi qui puisse faire ta balance coût/avantage. Si le label est un peu respecté, ça vaut peut-etre le coup de laisser quelques plumes.
A moins d'avoir un vrai tube entre les mains, je n'y attacherais pas une importance démesurée.

Hors sujet : je t'ai envoyé un pm complementaire qui m'est revenu, as usual.

Citation : Hi XXXXX !
Well i'm sorry if you think it begins boring with me.
You were cool with me and i don't want to be in conflict with you.
About the 10% for compilation, it's not the same at all in France so sorry for this point, honestly.
I read the agreement again with my friend and we talked about it for a long time and we think it's ok.
In order to have no confusion, i send you the supposed final agreement.
But, one final point : what about remixes ? Do i have a percent on it ? Hope the answer is yes.
About radio broadcast ?
So could you add it on the agreement ?

Thank you XXXXXX.
Hope good news soon :-)

Citation : je suis content de ce qui t'arrive kurt,je reve de ça tous les jours...
j'espere que ça se passeras bien pour toi...

Citation : Kurt-
I'm glad we have reached an agreement. Attached is the FINAL contract. The
only change is the release date - from April it is now May, mainly because
of going back and forth with the changes.
To answer your questions:
"what about remixes ? Do i have a percent on it ? Hope the answer is yes."
KURT - YOU OWN 50% OF THE PUBLISHING. REMIXES JUST HELP SELL THE RECORD -
WE
DON'T GIVE SEPERATE ROYALTIES TO THE PEOPLE WHO DO THEM. THEY JUST RECEIVE
A
FLAT FEE. SO THE ANSWER IS 'YES' YOU DO RECEIVE A %

About radio broadcast ? YES - 50% OF PUBLISHING MEANS JUST THAT - ALL
ROYALTIES
AND DISTRIBUTIONS FROM RADIO BROADCAST, TV COMMERCIALS (IF ANY) AND
LICENSING.

So could you add it on the agreement ?

IT IS ALREADY IN THE AGREEMENT.

Please sign the agreement and send it, along with the master files, to the
address below.
