Oh, it's time for my scheduled bump. Is anyone still willing to make this?

I'll take care of the technical side of things, or at least help.

I was actually just thinking about this earlier, and thought it might be a great way to help out the forum.

Once the album is finished, we could have a trustworthy member sell CDR copies for, say, $5 plus the cost of the CDR, case, booklet, S+H, etc. They would get their money back for the materials and the cost of sending it out, but the rest could be donated to WOWAY.

Anyway, I'd love to contribute liner notes to the project. :bigups:

But you have to watch out on the music that's been used , you just can't use original music for your parodies ( copyright laws ) without permission.

Or am I wrong?

I know there is a law that you can do a cover of anything you want but you have to give royalties...

As for original music, before it goes on the album, make sure you copyright it!

If you word it correctly, the CD becomes a reward for donating to WOWAY and not an actual sale, I think. I'm not sure though.

Technical side: getting all the music together. I was thinking we could upload our individual bits to scottidog.com and other people download it to work on more.

But that means we can't sell it. :rolleyes: Unless someone wants to get royalties worked out...

CaféExpress can distribute Audio CDs. You just mail a master CD to them and they'll print it. I'll check it out. If that's not suitable, there are plenty of companies that do dedicated CD copying, and they might mail it out too. Personally, I'd like to have a company that mails out as well as reproduces CDs, otherwise there would be a few people that couldn't buy it due to parental restrictions on the publicness of their address. For example, me. :F
