I am in the process of reviewing your contract.

Can you kindly explain the following clause:

Joining the XXXXXXX LICENSING service requires: (1) the prior publication by the

Artist of at least one (1) Work on XXXXXXX.COM.

and how I can accomplish this?

Hello Ray, 

As long as BMI didn't give you the go by email you won't be able to access XXXXXXX. 

The first step is to write to BMI and wait for their answer, like we explained in our last email. 

Cheers,

The Music Team

at XXXXXXX.com

Thank you very much.  I did understand that item from your previous email. 

I am currently reviewing your contract and requested an explanation of the clause,

"Joining the XXXXXXX LICENSING service requires: (1) the prior publication by the

Artist of at least one (1) Work on XXXXXXX .COM"

This reminds me of the dilemma, 'I can't be hired without experience while I have no experience

because no one will hire me'

Can you kindly clarify how I get (1) prior publication of at least one (1) work on XXXXXXX .com, if I 

cannot register with XXXXXXX  without (1) prior publication of at least one (1) work on XXXXXXX .com?

Thanks in advance.

How Far . . .

. . . and how LONG will we (U.S. Congress) allow this to continue??? (see Article II, Section 1, Clause 6 of the Constitution)



(from https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/17/opinions/snl-trump-emergency-declaration-obeidallah/index.html?fbclid=IwAR1xTEoJQRgPSVcix7awbo9F3tQtL2SzrSq2wMaN8 Dychh8qdo_QxpOZoO8)
". . . He (guess who?) first tweeted Sunday morning, "Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC! Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!". . . Then four minutes later, he tweeted in all caps -- telling us how he apparently now views the iconic comedy show as part of those threatening our nation: "THE RIGGED AND CORRUPT MEDIA IS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!". . .Could Trump be laying the ground work to declare another national emergency to silence SNL?! Aside from the absurdity of the idea, it also violates the First Amendment right to free speech, as the American Civil Liberties Union was quick to point out. . . But before you dismiss the idea entirely, keep in mind two things. First, an Ipsos poll in August found that 44% of Republicans believe Trump should be able to close news outlets for "bad behavior." Do you have any doubt that if Trump called for comedy shows to be more "fair and balanced" in their criticism of Republicans, his base would not cheer? We might even see a majority of Trump fans support silencing "SNL," especially since the right has long viewed Hollywood and the entertainment industry as anti-Republican. (Of course, Trump and his base would undoubtedly never support forcing Fox News to truly be "fair and balanced."). . . "

Scribes . . .

(from http://davidsimon.com/michael-olesker-is-a-plagiarist-who-isnt/)

". . . “Once upon a deadline dreary . . . ”. . . The author, an alumnus of the University of MarylandDiamondback, had butchered “The Raven,” evoking the gothic plight of a journalist trapped at a typewriter, trying to keep his work fresh as he exhausted new developments in the top few paragraphs and was reduced to recounting backstory. To conclude each stanza, the haunting voice came to him: “Rewrite the background, ever more.” “No,” wails the reporter, “I will not burden my tale with all that came before.” “Rewrite the background, ever more.” . . . On the police beat, on general assignment, and especially on the rewrite desk, you were usually reacting to new developments on stories that were ongoing for days or months. You would quickly marry the fresh stuff to what had already been reported, more often than not by other staffers. You relied on info from the newspaper library, working your way through old clips, changing a word or two, flipping a sentence with a dependent clause, or, if you needed to lift a large chunk, restructuring a few paragraphs. . . So I am a plagiarist. And if we agree to the definition implied in both City Paper’s coverage of the Olesker imbroglio (Media Circus, Jan. 4. 2006) and the Sun’s response, then perhaps every rewrite man is a plagiarist. So, too, for reporters who routinely write stories using morgue clippings for background, or who work to catch up on a competitor’s reportage and err by not independently confirming every single detail. So, too, for every columnist who ever used reported material—either his own newspaper’s or that of another—as the given terrain on which to maneuver. . . A lot of people need to be fired, apparently. There may be scribes confident of their day-after-day, year-after-year output, who are sure no paragraph they ever used as background is too similar to its source, who are certain that whenever they reworked another paper’s story every fact was reconfirmed. But there are others—many others—who, in reflecting on Olesker’s fate, will privately admit unease. . . Journalism is not scholarship. While reporting requires integrity and precision, it is not a world of footnotes, textual cites, and bibliographic acknowledgment, and the news report of any major daily is a communal property. . ."
