Promotion's better when you love the music

Val Starr recounts her days as a record promoter and blasts away at the Digital Millenium Act. "My dream is to even the playing field for the independent labels and the majors and to get back to what has fallen heavily by the wayside ... the music! ... My dream is to create a music environment where independent and major labels alike can expose, break and sell new artist product globally." If you are not familiar with the Digital Millenium Act, read this article. The act implies that to digitally encode a song is to "re-record" it thus entitles labels to a licensing fee. As always check your contracts carefully.
