Not only are they not clear in their terms and conditions with their own artists. They won't even reply to simple questions by those interested in their artists.teruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728464922686743684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012486.post-23523608157832168592008-02-28T11:14:00.000-08:002008-02-28T11:14:00.000-08:00you are a patient person Saint Teru! :-)you are a patient person Saint Teru! <BR/><BR/> :-)spinmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745974192485434241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012486.post-44371445091879651372008-02-28T11:08:00.000-08:002008-02-28T11:08:00.000-08:00I've sent 2 emails.

If not I'll follow up in a few days. <BR/><BR/>In the meantime I (me personally) think it's important for ccM to go with the artist's wishes until I hear otherwise from SellaBand.teruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728464922686743684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012486.post-62924836927169005522008-02-25T09:48:00.000-08:002008-02-25T09:48:00.000-08:00any word from Sellaband yet?

Actually my heart bleeds for them. <BR/><BR/>If Sellaband officially opens a CC compatible remixing avenue, good. <BR/><BR/>In the meantime I don't think those vocal tracks are ccMixter compatible. Leaving them on ccMixter may also be unfair to the specifically CC and ccMixter friendly labels, who's contracts are consistent with that friendly attitude.spinmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745974192485434241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012486.post-11811589383482590752008-02-21T23:27:00.000-08:002008-02-21T23:27:00.000-08:00I emailed SellaBand.

Links to the Sellaband contracts are in the above referenced ccMixter forum post.<BR/><BR/>It would be a shame, because Mandyleigh sings great! Of course, she could always submit a vocal track or two for remixing which is from a song NOT published through Sellaband. Alternatively maybe an official statement on the Sellaband site, that there won't be any publishing rights problems for remixers of those songs.spinmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745974192485434241noreply@blogger.com
