Thanks for fighting for the underdog Peter but a million dollar corporation is hardly fighting for the underdog,
Capturing our data isnt what i signed up for.
And stop mentioning the word evil, you must be a PR nightmare to work with

We started TuneCore because we were horrified by the evil direction we felt distribution was going. We never take anyone’s rights, masters, trademarks, copyright, and so on, because evil is done when you gain control like that. We give all the earnings to the artists, because they earn it, and we don’t deserve a cut of their hard-earned success: to do other is evil.

I hope that gives us a serious track record of NON-EVIL. We never will do evil, and our widget is designed only to help. Jeff already outlined what and why we had to put that language in, I can confirm the the spirit is all about keeping information, control and power in the hands of the ARTISTS.

Thanks.
