Hi All:
Some information that may be of use, concerning to the WPI rules for
royalties et al in <audio> files.
What we know as rights. Uh,
Meta elements required
* Title : 100%
* Artist ( Interpreter): 12%
* Time: lenght of the <audio> piece. Royalties are assigned by time
sequences.
* Year: (_Objective Reason: It use to happen that some__ <audio> files
have the same name, thus causing a mistake in the attribution to the
artist as it happen in the past_)
* Composer: 20%
* Arrangements: 20%
* Producer: 40%
* Label: It depends on the contract, but as an agent collects all the
rights
* Software: Last but not least, some software use in the production of
audio has its own rights. Uh.
Hope this information it helps for the meta-tag issues
_BTW . There is a new start-up company named orfium.com, which CEOs now
all this issues, there is the cahnce ask them for more info._
Cheers
