Just thought I'd mention this for JPF members interested in film music libraries. Some libraries make blanket licensing deals with Scripps network (Food Network, HGTV, DIY, etc...). Whereas the blanket deals leave the writer out of the licensing equation. No upfront licensing pay for the writer. Adding salt to the wound... Scripps Network shows won't pay PRO royalties. So in essence, these kind of agreements with music libraries won't generate a bloody cent for the writer. So the writer is giving his tracks away free, while the libraries make money off your hard work. Make sure any contracts with libraries you sign entitles you to 50% of all licensing (including a calculated cut of a blanket deal). Or have the library opt-out of blanket deals altogether. Dang it, ya got to watch these guys every minute.  Best, John  One thing i no longer do is sign deals with libraries that offer music as precleared tracks, one price fits all, placed in shopping carts on some website. I look for boutique type publishers.

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
