Selling completely homemade CDs???

Hail

We have a small sideproject
in the style of Anal Cunt

that is to say noisegrind stuff....
We have about a song or thirty and we wondered

May we produce and sell a number of cds
with our selfmade covers, music, cds (simply home burned cd's without a cover sticking on it)
I mean is it 'legal' to distribute and sell that stuff without label or i don't know
??

I guess so.

I think you are free to make things and sell it. The problem is that if you don't have a label the music that you sell is not protected under copyright laws.
You can make cds and sell them under your own label. You can create a label just for your band. I don't know how that works. I think most bands don't do that because they prefer having someone else in charge of distributing their material.

Anyways... i'm just guessing

Allrighty

Well there are many bands actually doing things under own label
I might refer to a well known one: Cradle of filth with the album Bitter Suites to succubi I think, it's under their own Abracadaver label
(and there are more bands...)

Anyway
What must one do to get a 'legal label'
and how do I get stuff copyrighted??

I wouldn't bother about a 'label'. Bands sell their work at gigs etc. all the time, for cash, under the counter. You don't want to go around paying fucking TAX on that money do you? If there is a law against it (probably isn't, and if there was they wouldn't prosecute, on account of your utter smallness of production) then that law is a PIECE OF SHIT and I am advising you to break it.

Just make sure you copyright your material. I doubt anyone here is familiar with the way the Copyright Office in Belgium works, so you might have to find out for yourself.

Yes indeed...

I just mailed to a professional band in Belgium
(www.axamenta.com these guys own)

and their CD is also self-financed...

Just for the copyright thing the guy told me to inscribe at SABAM so no one can steal our music (like anyone would want to steal that crap lol )

Making your own label really isnt hard to do. I have a friend that is 16 years old, has his own label and have released two albums off it. Im not sure about the tax, but I know its usually high in belgium so you might want to check that option out.

Hehe I understand now

Maybe you should check another topic started by me,
with anal cunt in the title.

It has a link to a song we tried....
Everyone thinks it awfully sucks, so you probably wouldn't want to have one.
But listen anyway

Cheerz.

How do you start your own record label?
And how do you Copyright songs?

I heard if you post songs in MP3.com,
they copyright your songs.

Well....

In Belgium we can "simply" do this
www.sabam.be

(it's in English too)
You should mail to some bands of your country how they copyright their songs...
They should tell you the company or whatever...
