Interesting vids.

We, as a non-profit, try to protect artists from being exploited. Simple things, not legal advice. That goes from free websites, budget website creation, gear lending, providing simple studio facilities, publicity, copy services...

Our first rule is "don't even try to go global before you have some following locally". It's your followers who will show you where to go next.

If you can't keep a band together, you won't be able to cooperate globally either.

If we could find an honest lawyer, who understood licensing and royalties, we would be very happy to include that too. But we seem to encounter only fools and crooks.

And fwiw, We're also always on the lookout for cheap old tape machines and any kind of recording device, just to help with recovery of archives. There's a lot of musicians around that have a pile of stuff, recorded on media that's no longer easily available, even if these are zip drives, floppies, or half-inch tape. DAT and minidisc are still very common. It's the older stuff that's getting lost because nobody can read it. Video tape from the analog era, fi.
