Participants retain all publishing rights
while getting a web presence (album cover picture, artist photo,
brief description of artist and album), co-promotion, royalties,
barcoding, and warehousing. "This deal is open to
everyone, there's no value judgment and no discrimination. We're
equally as interested in the artist that sells five copies as
the one who sells 5,000," says The Orchard CEO Richard Gottehrer. |
