STARTING YOUR MUSIC PUBLISHING COMPANY Starting your own publishing company is actually not that hard. You as a songwriter may truly benefit from setting up your "own" publishing company because not only will you be able show off your own catalog of songs you've written - but also you may exploit songs of other writers that you acquire material from. You will also be able to collect your money from mechanical and performance licenses direct. (Opposed to getting your money through another publisher). Step 1 You will need to join a performance rights organization such as BMI, ASCAP or SESAC. Get in touch with these organizations to request the necessary information and application to join as a writer and publisher. Your company can only be an "active" member of one. There is a fee.

Audiolife (www.Audiolife.com), the Los Angeles-based Artist Services Company responsible for the development of a new media web-platform specifically designed for indie artists to sell music online and on-demand to fans, has released an in-depth report of findings on the future of selling CDs online. The report, "The New Way to Sell CDs Online: More Cost-Effective, Flexible and Profitable," compares the Audiolife model to competitors like CD Baby and Nimbit, and provides clear quantitative data to support the advantages of using Audiolife. The data proves that artists who sell up to 2,500 CDs online will make more money through Audiolife than they would through traditional CD distribution outlets. There are currently hundreds of thousands of artists selling their CDs online that don't sell more than 2,500 units. In fact, the average artist on CD Baby sells less than 5 CDs per year. This new model offers a cost-effective alternative that will allow artists to spend money o...

Sony’s $65 million acquisition of online video sharing start-up Grouper has ignited another play at the “Who will buy YouTube” game. This version of the game includes a bonus question: How much will be (over) paid? CNET’s “YouTube could be a steal at $1 billion” states: By agreeing to pay $65 million for Grouper–a profitless video-sharing company with negligible market share–Sony has helped establish a benchmark for other companies in the space and sent industry insiders speculating wildly about what market leader YouTube may be worth. Sony’s acquisition Wednesday of Grouper, which owns less than 1 percent of the online video market, begs a rather obvious question about its far larger rival YouTube, which owns 43 percent market share: If someone were to buy YouTube tomorrow, what would they have to pay? DMReview’s definition of “Market Share”: A company’s sales expressed as a percentage of the sales for the total industry. YouTube doesn’t have 43% market share of sales for any industry...

LOS ANGELES – The widow of producer Aaron Spelling is placing "The Manor" in the exclusive Holmby Hills neighborhood on the market for a jaw-dropping $150 million, making it by far the most expensive home for sale in the U.S. The French chateau-style mansion has 56,500 square feet of space on more than 4.6 acres and is the largest home in Los Angeles County. Among the neighbors are the Los Angeles Country Club and, not too far away, the Playboy Mansion. Spelling's late husband produced hit shows such as "Charlie's Angels," "Dynasty" and "Beverly Hills 90210." He died in 2006. "Everything there is glamorous, and is luxurious and it's really great scale," said Sally Forster Jones, an agent with Coldwell Banker Previews International in Los Angeles, which is co-listing the property. "There really is nothing to compare it to." Spelling told The Associated Press that she let her dog Madison, a soft-coated Wheaten Terrie...
