All the guys publishing (freely distributable) music are making lots of money - from the gigs and merchandising. Just get over your "horse and buggy" money making ideas. Modern methods of publishing and distribution have long obsoleted the printed volume method. if you area able to get a publisher in the first place. IMO not allowing a publisher to print and commercialise is actually cutting your own feet. If you were such an hot shot author, you might not be discussing this stuff anyway. -- Rgds JTD _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
