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.

License . . .

. . . not driver; not poetic

(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_licensing)

". . . the right, granted by the copyright holder or his/her agent, for the broadcast, recreation, or performance of a copyrighted work. Types of licensing contracts can include: 1) a flat fee for a defined period of usage, or 2) royalty payments determined by the number of copies of the work sold or the total revenues acquired as a result of its distribution. In addition to a basic fee, most music licensing agreements require additional payments to the copyright owner when the work in which it is included (movie, play) is financially successful above a certain threshold. . ."
