They are DEMO's, for Demonstration purposes only. I am not sure if putting them on Ourstage is legal if you can win money.
I think there is a way to have a demo done where you can sell it but it has to be specific in the contract.
Might need someone like Mike to explain that.


Bill,

Well, the USGA says that an amateur can win a limited amount in a golf contest, I believe the amount is $750 or less. Of course this is only somewhat similar.

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't see how winning a prize for a demo would be a problem. Maybe you could post at the Mentor Forum and see if Stu has an opinion.

By the way, a recording that has a work for hire agreement is not a demo, it is a master. Once the parties agree it can be sold, it is no longer a demo.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
