However, their contract gives only 35% of licensing fee to the composer. APM, on the other hand gives 75% to the composer, but they require exclusive contract. My concern with that is that I don't want to put all my eggs in APM's basket if there is no guarantee of usage. My music is outstanding, though, and I believe that it will definitely sell.
What should I do? Go ahead with APM or leverage out my music non-exclusively to various libraries including Pump.
Thanks. |
Among producers I work with the word on APM is that they are too expensive and too restrictive in their contracts, and Pump deals seem more to their liking. The editors have been happy w/ the Pump music, and from what I've heard in the shows I've done you'd be in good company. Flexibility is good.
