HUMTOO goes non-exclusive

HUMTOO has just updated it's publishing agreement with it's music making community to a non-exclusive publishing deal with it's members with tracks on the site.

As HUMTOO's library expands and is broadcast across the globe earning it's music making community money in performance royalties, the HUMTOO team decided to change their agreement with their members as they believe it will assist in speeding up the growth of the library.

You are completely free to do whatever you want with your music outside the site and ownership of your music remains 100% with you.

HUMTOO will take the publisher's share (50%) of performance royalties earned through HUMTOO only. This is HUMTOO's only publishing commission on this site. Any project fees, sync or reproduction royalties earned by your music are 100% yours and all memberships, listings and general use of the site are free.

We will register all works with our PRO which will speed up the distribution of royalties if you also register the agreement with your PRO and let them know the track is published by HUMTOO (50% split of performance royalties each - 100% mechanical royalties to you).

We may retitle your work for use in our library and we only ask that if you publish a track you have on HUMTOO elsewhere that you give it a new name (completely different than the name on HUMTOO).

Please read the contributing music maker agreement for the full details and if you have any questions at all please email us we're here to help.

More information can be found in the how it works section of the site: http://www.humtoo.com/how-it-works.asp?HIWPageID=80

We have recently uploaded another mix tape project on the site called Arena. We'll be putting up more mixtapes in the near future, if you'd like an email reminder when they go up, please email us at: newstuff@humtoo.com with 'add me' in the subject line and we'll send you an email everytime a new project is uploaded to HUMTOO.

Keep up the great work!

The HUMTOO team
