Subject: RE: Discount CDs at gigs
The impression rightly or wrongly from you, was that you have devine rights.[quote villan]
I do have legal rights to sell my cds ,unless I have relinquished those rights in a signed contract with you.
no contract I have ever signed mentions the sale of cds,those contracts deal with fee, plus accomodation.
I dont know where you get the word devine from,but I have legal rights to sell cds,unless I have specifically relinquished those rights.

Well actaully an organsier can ban the sale of CD's if they so wished. We don't of course ,From: The Villan - PM

>>no they cant,unless it has been previously agreed between the organiser and the artist,in a written contract.

I could stop a performer selling CD's if I so wished.

You fail to understand, that when you play at a venue, it is the organiser who is in charge. you are being paid to perform. You are employed by them.

As it is, I go out of my way to help performers maximise their profits to my venue. I sometimes pay more than I have agreed to performers becuase I believe they deserve it. That is my decision.

If you don't like my rules, you don't get employed.[end of quote]
That does not sound like mutual consent.
LES,Before you make statements which could be misconstrued to be intimidating,check your legal situatuion.
