You would think, they would STOP sending me emails after they have ended my contract and kept my royalties of 2 years! But NO, I keep receiving these emails from my former corrupt distributor who is treating its artists like criminals! 

Artists pay close attention to these distribution companies corrupt policy! Now more than ever, you have to protect your work and your reputation! 

Because of AI and BOTS you can become easily a target like I have, and these distribution companies will misuse their "power over you and your work" and keep your royalties or even charge you extra! 

This is the modern way of robbery happening to Indie-Artists worldwide! 

Updates to the Amuse terms of use

Hey Lily,   We are reaching out to inform you that we are updating our Terms of Use.   As the music landscape evolves for DIY & independent artists, we are also introducing some changes to the Amuse offering. These changes are mostly related to the recently announced restriction of our Start Tier, as well as the introduction of various measures to further battle the challenge of fraudulent streaming activities.    The terms are written to ensure clarity, transparency and alignment with our ongoing commitment to continue providing you with the best service possible.   We encourage you to take a moment to review the updated terms which can be found at Terms of Use and Subscription Terms of Use. But here are some of the changes at a glance: If you currently use our Start Tier, you will be unable to submit new releases via your account after March 27th, 2024, unless you upgrade to a Boost or Pro subscription. You can read more about this change here. In light of recent routines implemented by streaming services, we may charge a fee to users engaged in artificial and fraudulent streaming activity. Plus, we did some minor tidying up of the documents. By continuing to use our services, you are agreeing to these updated terms.    Thank you for being part of Amuse.   The Amuse Team

You should read these parts from the NEW Terms of use! 

6. ROYALTIES AND PAYOUTS

You keep 100% of your royalties that we actually receive from the Stores, unless you have royalty splits without a Subscription (as further detailed in our Subscription Terms of Use), with the exception of any third party aggregator fees, applicable taxes due from you by law, payment and banking fees incurred, and amounts to cover any administrative costs and cost of sales, including the handling of money and payments on your behalf. You are to the fullest extent responsible for paying all applicable taxes according to the tax laws of your country.

We also reserve the right, without notice, to withdraw from your earnings (or otherwise charge you) 10 EUR per Recording per month (or the then current equivalent in any other currency) (the “Fee”) if we or any of the Stores (in our or a Store’s sole discretion) identify any fraudulent, manipulated, artificial and/or illegal streaming activity in respect of the Recording in question. Regardless of any splits set up with other Amuse users for such Recording, the Fee will be withdrawn from the owner of the Amuse Account.

In addition, we may take any of the following action without notice where we determine in our sole discretion that you are, have been or may have been involved in fraudulent, artificial, manipulated or illegal conduct, that you have uploaded infringing Recordings or are otherwise in breach of the Agreements:

a. Deduct any and all required sums (including the Fee) from any accrued balance of royalty earnings credited to your Amuse Account; and/or

b. Deduct any and all required sums (including the Fee) from any future royalty earnings which would otherwise have been credited to your Amuse Account; and/or

c. Charge any and all required sums (including the Fee) to your chosen payment method (such as a debit card, credit card or PayPal account).

Like I say in my song BOWLING: 

Mighty hungry fortune hunters
Breaking News: Surprise, surprise, No one lives forever
No money in this world is gone last forever
You’re born with no moral values in your bones
No flame in the world will unfreeze your heart that is made of stone
 
Filling your bank accounts with filthy money
only creates misery for your soul destiny
The aftermath: Black Karma will hunt you for eternity
Not only you but your legacy for decades over centuries
Not only you but your legacy for decades over centuries
Centuries, centuries
