Archive Copies

[FreakAnimalFinland]

Yeah. I have been ripped off couple times. Not getting copies of compilations I submitted tracks or getting just 1 copy of solo tape. But otherwise, 20% seems like most usual free copy royalty. Of course depends on type of project one does, but I see very few scenarios where accepting 10% would be fair.

20-25% was the standard, and I can't see any reason why it would be less now.  10% feels like a real shoe squeezing of the artist(s).

I have some archive copies, first time on vinyl etc but tend to get rid off most stuff with the exeption of making a tape dub for myself of the material. when fasting is not an option even artist copies must be sold.

About the 20% free copies for the artist, I guess this doesn't count for compilations. I'm thinking about the Small Doses Noise/Noisecore comp CD for example...

20% shared among the contributed artists seems to be standard (like a comp in 500 copies with 10 artists = 10 copies per act).

I try to keep at least 1 copy of every release of my own project. When it's possible I also store stuff from my label. The main problem is having enough space for everything!
