DJ Wants Your Soul

DJ seeking drops and mp3's from Soul, R&B and maybe conscious Hip Hop/Rap Artist.

The message below is from DJ Young Venom who I found on Soul Commune. I thought this may be of interest to some of our readers and wanted to share this with you. Because a number of people visit the site it's safe to assume that DJ Young Venom is seeking Soul, R&B and maybe conscious Hip Hop/Rap Artist.

Ok here is the deal I have reached the point of my dj career where I am getting a high demand for my mixes and its weird because I have done only 2 mixes thus far. And since im trying to mainly promote the artist why not have them do all the talking. So before I start this Soul series I have be procrastinating on since forever I need drops and mp3s NOT wmas from every artist that wants to be heard. Send drops and mp3s to youngvenom@gmail.com.

Here is a link to my previous stuff for free on itunes! WOW

Music Showcase Are You Protected.

There's currently legislation that if passed could have an adverse affect for anyone who creates intellectual property -songs, lyrics, books, music, paintings, photographs, etc. The entire arts, entertainment and music community is being made aware of the Orphan Works Legislation.

According to Tess Taylor -Big Changes To The Copyright Act That Will Affect YOU!

Congress is quietly passing a significant change to the Copyright Act that will radically restructure copyright law and legalize the infringement of artists' rights.

Driven by commercial interests, the Shawn Bentley Orphan Works Act (named for the late AOL lobbyist) creates a safe harbor that will allow the use of songs, sound recordings, illustrations, music videos or any other copyright in any manner by anyone (whom the Shawn Bentley Act defines as an infringer) who is unable to find the copyright owner after a "reasonably diligent" search "in good faith." No requirements exist for a "reasonably diligent search" in the Act.
