Hi Folks,

Like Taxi, Broadjam will forward your song/s for a fee to those requesting songs and instrumentals in various styles for their projects.

However, once submitted, you must check out other annonymous writers submitted material and they check out yours and give it a vote of sorts.

I STRONGLY believe that this is a very dangerous and flawed system for the following reason:

Over the past 20-odd years, I have had to go after around half a dozen characters who have tried to rip off my material, from writers, singer/songwriters and even a well-established company with many world-wide hits behind them.

Not all people are blue-chip and above board and where there`s potentially big, big money to be made, some will take the chance and blatantly copy your idea if they think it is a winning one and letting other hopeful writers check out your stuff, even before it`s had time to establish itself, is a big mistake.

Even Paul McCartney tells of how he and John, when trying to write a hit, would sit in a room with copies of the latest hits surrounding them and take bits`n`pieces from various songs to help make up their own.

I`ve just written to Broadjam to suggest they give writers the option of risking their material being checked out by others or, like I want to do, simply pay my money and have it delivered directly to whoever is requesting it.

Here`s hoping they see sense.

Cheers,

Stu.
