I'm going to be rich & famous, I tell you! :lol: :wink: :wink: :lol:

Letter in the mail yesterday: send my songs into this place in North Hollywood and they will include my song(s) on a 'professionally recorded' CD. All sorts of name-dropping.
Of course, this is a scam. A google finds these people have been doing this for 10+ years. They charge you $450+ per song, get some nobodies to record your song, then make you buy copies to sell yourself. :P vampires.

Hey, if one of those songs is called "The Chains", it's probably not a scam! (LOL)

Hey man, for $200 I'll record it, and get you 25 CDs with just the one song (or fill it with my own - your choice), you can sell them at $10 each and make a $50 profit! :wink: 8)

From what I read, they target people who have entered new copyrights for songs with the US Copyright office, I assume that those lists are available to anyone who looks for them.
