you probably already know this little trick but i thought i'll make a contribution anyway since i found this out the hard way in the past.
if you make a good track and people like it, there is always someone thats gonna try and copy you....the best way around this is to not release your track to anyone first but to follow these simple steps.
1/ make an audio cd of your track/s or tape...whatever.
2/ package it in a strong envelope and post it (recorded post preferbly) and post it to yourself.
3/ DO NOT open you package. just keep it safe....and away from prying ears.
the reason for this is to stop people copying your work and selling it off as theres....this method WILL stand up in a court of justice because the package is dated and not opened. also it'll save you dollars/pounds in copyright fees.....:whip:
happy production......---peace |

trust me mate.....someone did it to me and i want to them up...
i made a killa track for college and i got robbed for it...
spent 3 months on the bugger and endless nights playing with logic6 in my bedroom......still make some cool stuff now..
just weary of releasing them..:nervous: |

thanks mate for clearing that up for me.....
sometimes i wish the authorities would give the public a little more slack and respect, rather than siding with the big shots....
doesnt stop me from creating quality tracks in the future.

Because if someone does steal and release it you can prove you had it before he did cause you have the unopened envelope with a date on it. |

No no! Just follow my 3 step program:
Step One: Hunt the guy down, search high and low.
Step two: Prepare a butchers knife or a meathammer.
Step three: Smash or cut his fingers of so he cant play on a synth again.
(Remember to start every day with a smile;) |
