When you send demos to labels , do you send a version with interruption and cuts that been made on purpose in order to avoid a use of the track without permission or do you count on the labels integrity and send them full versions?
Thanks in advance

Count on their integrity.
Besides, noone will want to trade your tracks, you're not famous yet

i ask myself too... anyway famous or not it has to be same solution. who you trust or not.
before you send, email them tell that you will send, and if they like it that way.

It sound obvious to me that if you ask them they will always want us to send a full version
and not the cut one , now back to the source question how can i know they won't take my track remix it and use it???
(I'm just wondering)
Maybe some labels around here can answer my question?
thanks

Hi superglue what's up?
As you said the money comes from live and dj show so how can i get booked and get ppl to know me If they "steal my track" and play it not under my name????
Anyway i guess you right i'll have to count on their integrity and send them full versions as it sounds better and therefore i got more chances to get signed.
Thanks man

no, you send them before demo, so they can like it even that way and don't ask for full
anyway i never thought about remixing or stealing under their name, as long as you know you did it and you got the source file, and who will do that? hehe
only the mp3 mafia can be harmfull, just the label give it dj's to play it and they give it to other people and so on... at final you find your music online and no label will want it. i heard about few stoires like that already.

here's a good way to protect your rights without a contract or a registration to an artist protection association (like ACUM) or signing with an agent:
take the track/s you want to send to the label. put it in an envelope, and seal it. next, send it to yourself via registered mail (Doar Rashum). once you get the CD, take the envelope, leave it Sealed and put it away.
when you hear or see your track played or published without your permission, you can take that envelope with you to court (provided you don't tampre with it). the post office stamps these kind of letters with date, time and place, and this stamp is valid in a court of law.

actually, i'm pretty sure there is a precedent stating this is NOT valid at all. (in the uk).
plus its not really needed. |

Now i'm really confused again!!!!!
what should i do? some of you tell me to send a demo some say to send a full version,
i feel i'm back at the starting point ,  don't know what to do.
can any label that hang around here come and tell me your side of the story? please!!!
take a look at this topic ,newly posted at the "new tracks" forum : http://forum.isratrance.com/viewtopic.php/topic/33104/forum/26

This stuff can realy make me angry.

For me, whether I cut a track up or not depends greatly on how much I trust the label. Professionally run labels will understand the reasons for doing this and thus not make an issue out of it. For the bigger name labels you don't really have much to worry about, however song theft does go on even in this scene among some of the smaller fly-by-night labels. A couple months ago I had to translate a letter for a Japanese friend into English to another label owner who had taken a track he had shown him, changed the name and put it out on his own comp. If you are sending demos to bigger labels, you shouldn't have any problems, but with some of the lesser known ones it doesn't hurt to be careful
