Thread Name: Discount CDs at gigs
Subject: RE: Discount CDs at gigs
yes, I do have a right,to sell my cds,unless I have come to an agreement otherwise.
you organise a club,and you negotiate a fee for the artist to play the club,I would not sign a contractwith an organiser that prevened me from selling cds[in fact you would have to sign an m u contract,before I played your particular club,these contracts do not mention cd sales.therefore legally you cant stop me from selling my cds].
If an organiser does not allow sales of Cd's, then they need to make sure it is clearly understood before both sign the contract.[quote]
exactly what I am saying ,and have said in previous posts.
Villan,legally, you cant dictate to a performer in your club,that he cant sell his cds,you have to have the performers agreement,most performers would not accept that they cant sell cds,or if they accepted it would increase their fee to compensate for potential loss of cd revenue.
you may be an employer,but you cannot dictate terms to performers,it has to be done by mutual consent.
