For anyone trying to get cuts in this day and age, ask yourself this?

How many of your own songs that you worked and sweated over, spent money to record and promote, spent years to develop your own process and abilties to do, would you put aside for someone that you dont know, have no relationship with, and actually don't consider their songs as good as your own?

There, in a nutshell, you have the difficulty in getting anyone to embrace anything that is not their own.
