Subject: Contract from Germany
Hi Elizabeth!
At first, I thought I would sign the contract just to get the music "out there"; then, I felt insulted by the offer, so I complained. To my surprise, alterations were made that suited me, for instance, the music copyright remains with me.
After spending a lot of money for legal assistance, I managed to recover about 90% of my published choral music from POP files. NEVER will I sign another contract with any publisher, unless POP files are discussed and to my liking. One of the saved pop files won an international competition.
Thanks for chiming in on this matter. [...]
