Over to me. I can't, and won't, defend my actions about writing something that was completely and utterly wrong about you (or anyone, for that matter). Not even the excuse that is the truth - that I made a very public mistake about who you are - is even a remotely good answer, despite the fact that it is the answer. I apologize, fully, again. I made a commitment in my original post to attempt to respond to any questions posted, and I'll do that. Much of what you wrote is worth discussing...there's too much time put into your reply to dismiss all you've said out of hand, and that was never my original intention in posting anyway. That doesn't mean I agree that it's all correct - I believe you draw some wrong conclusions, in some cases based on what I suspect is incomplete information on your part (and the tone of some of your questions bears this out), and I have since re-read your post several times to try to understand your perspective. The one immediate response I'll make is on the distribution percentage- you're correct, it's 50%, not 55%. 45% goes to the featured musician, and 5% goes to non-featured musicians. Nothing nefarious in my original post there, but you are correct about that, I had intended to correct that in my previous post. 50% (artist) + 50% (label) - 100%. You've obviously been considering many of these positions for a long time, and you suggested to me in our private notes not to respond until I had researched my answers. That will take some time, but I will spend time on this. Over and out, for now. -Dick Huey OK Mr. Wilhelm. Over to me.
