A post that I put on Recod Producer

Again you have gone to far I think with out thinking it all out. There are ways the musicians can make music and not have to go through major labels the Creative Commons Sampling Plus 1.0 license. This is different from regular copyright in that you are allowed to sample, mash-up, or otherwise transform this work for commercial or non-commercial purposes, provided that you properly credit the original artist. It’s the artist who needs to think how the art will get to the audience. Not the record company. I think that if as a record label you put the money out for a product you want to get your money back and so that is ethically correct however if you want music to be sold in stores that others can have a copy of or second hand then you cant have recorded with the big boys. vvt.
