lessee - so that means about 4 people have probably signed it, and the rest laughed so hard that LSc was shamed into dropping it...

6 months later and we're still in BETA. Meaning...."they're still workin' on it."

As far as the contract goes, the last discussion had a comment by MU's attorney that I liked.

To wit: Set a certain amount of income required for "exclusivity".

If an artist did not reach that level of income, all rights revert back to the artist.

A few thousand dollars over 1 or 2 years was discussed.

That way listensmart.com could build up a catalogue of high earners. And the low earners could go on if they were unhappy to something else.

But, to be candid, the BETA has gone on so long that no one seems to really care anymore. No matter what the contract says.

As Peter Green once wrote: "Oh Well".

It's kinda like tennis:

The players:
Side A: LS and their Attorney
Side B: Buck the Attorney

LS hits the ball first (V1),
Buck hits back,
LS returns with V2,
Buck hits back,
LS has gone into seclusion and left the Tennis court, left Ben as director of Music News, and we are all saying ?
