Do you intend to buy CD's from CM (presumably as a retailer) at dealer prices and then make an ADDITIONAL royalty payment to the artistes involved? That's the idea. And remember, I'm not sure (and won't be until I hear from the artists, that they're not getting royalties.

How will you calculate the royalties? typically, royalties come to 5% of the recording's list price

How would this be possible unless you are content to reduce your own margins? That's the idea.

OR do you intend to simply attempt to purchase from Bulmer and then stiff him for the royalty element that you have calculated so that you can remit to the artistes concerned? I don't intend to stiff anyone. Please keep in mind that we're not talking about a hell of a lot of money here. My main interest is getting the music out. THat's why DigiTrad exists; that's why CAMSCO exists.
