The Clash Over Cash

I've read about big artists suing their labels over royalty problems with subscription sites like yours. If I subscribe to www.RoyaltyFreeMusic.com , should I worry about tracks going away?

You're absolutely right about bands clashing with their labels. The Allman Brothers, for example, are suing Universal Music Group for $13 million claiming 'refusal to pay plaintiffs at the correct royalty rate for its digital exploitation of the Capricorn Masters'. And just wait 'til Phil Spector's lawyers to get that whole murder trail thing off their plate and need to cover the bill. Watch out! Anyhoo, your RoyaltyFreeMusic tracks are safe from such tomfoolery because we own our copyrights outright. That gives us complete control over our royalty free music content (12,000 tracks/12,000 sound effects) so we can cut out the red tape and give you an absolutely gigantic palette of musical options…and the wonderful ability to download royalty free music worry free.
