If so, I apologize.<BR/><BR/>I know, this site is promising and has a lot of features that can compete with the rest and established social networking sites. And I will also be honest that I hadn't read much of the ad-revenue scheme for the musicians. But so to speak, I will be waiting for this site to progress.<BR/><BR/>I just hope it wont be the same as multiply, where their main objective before appeared to be the same as your site's objective today.jayceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040618494281196238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278984.post-32103259652419025512008-12-20T02:12:00.000+08:002008-12-20T02:12:00.000+08:00Hi JayceeI'm glad to hear we dazzled you :)Thank y...Hi Jaycee<BR/>I'm glad to hear we dazzled you :)<BR/>Thank you for your comments. We are always really pleased to hear feedback from our users.<BR/>Just to answer a couple of questions you pose: We have of course tried to incorporate all the best elements of other social networks and music sites, and we have added and will continue to add all sorts of other features and services which absolutely nobody else is doing. Our site is unique in that respect.<BR/>The site has been conceived and built by musicians, for musicians. We are the first site that has set itself up expressly to share advertising revenues with copyright owners. We won't be the last. This concept is being embraced by the industry, musicians and fans alike. We've had dozens of meetings on two continents (so far) with labels, publishers and the industry bodies; there is clearly nothing dubious about our intent or practice, I hope you will come to agree. We are effectively re-inventing the wheel in many respects so obviously it will take time to set up new business relationships with long established organisations such as those in the music industry. <BR/>Kerchoonz, along with people like yourself, fans, artists and labels, are together breaking exciting new ground with this model. Thank you for your support. See you on the site.<BR/>philAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278984.post-22041689440171437312008-12-19T06:59:00.000+08:002008-12-19T06:59:00.000+08:00My band joined Kerchoonz and it is my understandi...My band joined Kerchoonz and it is my understanding that it is completely legal because they pay the artists and the labels through the advertising revenue on the site which means there isn't a copyright violation. They have not violated any copyright laws because the copyright owners themselves upload the music. I am an artist on the site and I don't want you to think I'm spamming you just to promote my music, but, my band is on the site and we think it will really help us because, unlike myspace, they pay us when people listen and we can also sell our music on the site, but, we have opted to give away some free downloads because it helps us get more fans and also, we are paid for the downloads from the advertising. So, your blog doesn't make sense. I also noticed that many record labels have joined it. I think this is great. I also think it is necessary in order to fight the piracies out there. I don't think that you have done the research because it is all very clear in the ad-agreement they have on the site and also in the terms. but, that is my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
