Things are really starting to pickup in 2008, and in our label relations department, we have a LOT of work to do. There are approximately 3,000 record labels in the world, and Grooveshark wants to license all of them!
Of these 3,000 labels, there are hundreds of thousands of un-signed artists which we are also looking to bring onto the Grooveshark team.
To make things a little easier on our end, Grooveshark has developed an automated label/un-signed artist signup process, which spells out:
- The terms of the relationship in the licensing agreement
- A one-sheet spelling out all the benefits of licensing
- A sample metadata sheet for the labels to complete
Labels are also given our email address: licensing@grooveshark.com as well as my personal email: andrew.wise@grooveshark.com if they have any further questions.
This web form has allowed Grooveshark to focus on building relationship with labels as opposed to constantly being in ‘sales’ mode. So if you’re a label and are looking for a way to collect money from your content being downloaded illegally, for free, check out Grooveshark !
