And the "what n00b cd was the last n00b cd you listened to", as well as "how did you meet the other n00bs in your band?" and the obligatory "what are your n00bish influences? Dream Theater? I'll bet its Dream Theater. N00b." I would love to see you ask those questions to someone in an actual interview. you get me Torman Maxt on the phone and I will

That'd be epic.

I don't want to relive that fiasco but I think that band got as much flaq for what happened here at PA as they did for the music.  It certainly wasn't a masterpiece but in my opinion there are far worse albums out there that get far too much praise on this site.

Right. Sorry Scott, Im not trying to jerk anyone's knees here and I was trying to tiptoe around that as much as possible. But I reeeeeaaaaalllllyy hated that album. Like... a lot. I'd rather drop it and move on as well, although I've always wondered what they're think if they heard they were going to be interviewed by me

on the down side, I lost my --first review of this album-- position

I'm afraid that something similar will happen if I have my album featured.

copyright isn't so hard, it just cost money, and you should probably hire a good lawyer if you're really dead serious about it. Although I don't really think it becomes a problem until you're signed to a label and have distribution.

Although I don't really think it becomes a problem until you're signed to a label and have distribution. No, it's not difficult at all. I have most of the form filled out and ready to go... what I need to figure out is the entity under which it is copyrighted for exact certainty. I also need to figure out if the band needs to be registered as a trademarked entity first before copyrighting the album as well. That's about it. I'm not worrying about the lawyer.

You need rights for master recording and synchronization. I've got some forms around here that go through the process cryptically, i I find them I'll scan them and send them to you

Alright. Thanks!

Is copyrighting the same in Canada as it is over here, out of curiosity?

Good question. I can't imagine it would be too different ("famous last words" before a lawsuit )

I'm out for the time being. Be back soon!
