Chagall,

Your big problem is that, like most people, you don't know what a contract is, what your legal rights, are what your recourses are, and, worst of all, you don't know how to stand up for yourself(don't mean to sound harsh--but...)

You do not need a big movement, you do not need to hide from the big guys, you don't even need to be particularly strong--

As to trying to be realistic, you are not being realistic, you are being self-defeating--you are also being stupid..yes, you!!!! STUPID!!!!! Why??? Because you do have legal rights, and rather than even find out what they are, you are answering your own questions with self-defeating garbage from your head--(Listen to me!!!! I am telling you this for your own good!!!!)

You need to put as much effort into this as you did into writing and recording the stuff that is no a tune--

If I were you, I'd check out the ASCAP site and figure out if you are or qualify to be, member(generally, the deal is that you have to have written a song that is either physically published or recorded and released in order to qualify, but I think that they stretched the rules a bit to allow that having stuff at MP3.COM is sufficient). At any rate, talk to them. They are a membership association that looks after the rights (and collects the royalties) for songwriters, and they have lawyers on hand, perhaps even lawyers who are already dealing with problems with MP3.COM-

At any rate, there are a lot of people in the same boat with you on this, and there are some avenues to get the legal support you need--

The most important thing to remember is that this is a change MP3.COM is trying to make in their contract with you, it isn't engraved in stone, but if you accept it without saying a word, it will be.
